Build-A-Bear

My poor deprived children had never been to Build-A-Bear. Not sure EC had ever even heard of it. But when we moved here some sweet friends gave us a gift card so off we went. Well, they LOVED it. Every bit of it. Picking out the animal, stuffing it (stepping on the pedal was big for Knox), picking its sound, clothes and name, and the box it goes home in. We had such fun. EC picked the rabbit and a ballerina outfit for it. She named it Flip-Floppy (a name she came up with). Knox made a b-line for the orange cat that meowed. I wasn't sure he would enjoy this little adventure but he LOVED it. He held on to that cat and has been loving on it ever since. We named it Aubie, of course. I honestly think he wanted it so he could squeeze it, kiss it, carry it by it's tail etc.... All the things he wishes he could do to our real cat, without getting scratched.

You are so cute!
No lie, I bought a cedar chest at a yard sale for $20 and five years later an insurance company gave me $300 for it. And there you go.

That comment was supposed to go on the Antiques Roadshow post, of course!

We haven't been either! We actually walked by the store when we were at the beach and Averi cried when we wouldn't let her go in :)
