Build A Bear

I spontaneously surprised the kids with a trip to Build A Bear when we went to the mall. I didn't even know that we were going! Ha! I had planned on just going to one or two stores and eating lunch there, but when I saw the store and they asked to go in, I thought "okay, we will just go in and look." But then I remembered that that is all we ever do in there and they had a limited edition bear that was on sale. So then I thought, "what the hell!" :)

Once I told the kids to pick out which bear they wanted, they were soo excited!! Of course they didn't want to pick the one that was on sale, so that took a little coaxing but it all worked out.

Zach giving his bear a "bath" and "blow dry." :)

And finally, the making of the birth certificates. Zach named his bear "Lovey" and Sophie named hers "Tutti," as in Tutti Frutti (yes, I helped with that one :)).
