Build A Bear

During spring break, the kids and I headed out to Mall of America for the day.  We originally chose Tuesday due to the Toddler Tuesday Easter Egg Hunt.  Needless to say, my 8 year old, wasn't all that impressed with the hunt for the 3 tables they had set up in Nick Universe.  Quite boring really.  So, we went on the hunt for that something to make the day a bit special since this was our "spring break fun day with little $$$ to spend."  Jonathan opened up the Toddler Tuesday pamphlet and inside was a $5 off a $10 purchase coupon for BABW!  Perfect!  So, he ran and grabbed another one for his sister.  This is all a bit more special due to the fact Jonathan has lost "Nigel" and Allie has never made a BAB.  So, off we went...

Allie chose a puppy dog (of course)

Jonathan found a High School Musical bear

Rubbing their animal's heart on their heads to make them smart

and on their hearts to help them love

Jonathan stuffing his

nice and huggable

Allie stuffing hers

"He's squishy mama"

Time for their bath

Birth certificate time

Allie named hers Spot

Jonathan named his Troy (get it?)

Jonathan paid for his (with my $$$ of course)

And now Allie pays.

She wanted a pink leash for Spot, so I let her since her doggy cost less and it was her first time.  Well, wouldn't you know I had made a "dumb mama move" and left my check card in my scrubs from work.  So, I was going to make her give the leash back and the cashier said NO.  She gave us a coupon for a free accessory!  She made our day!

One doggy named Spot + One High School Musical Bear named Troy + One pink leash = $18

Happy kids = Happy mama

Day at the MOA + BABW = Good spring break
