The Magic of Stuffing and Little Clothes..

This is a magical place..

I don't quite understand it but it's true..

Ask ANY kid..

It has a magnetic pull..

Whenever we are in University Mall, the little girls ask to go in..

NOT like we've never been!

All 3 of my daughters have a Build-a-Bear

[to be exact, Chelsea-1, Savannah-3, Adeline-2]

After Monday, Savannah & Adi each have one more!

Grandma Rosemary added a last-minute birthday treat for Savannah,

and invited Adeline and Hailey (cousin) along!!

Here is our latest adventure there..

Adi with her pre-stuffing dog..

The 3 girlies waiting to add some bulk to their doggies..

{they all 3 picked a different dog}

Adi manning the foot pump to stuff her dog..

Savannah's turn..

Adi in the "washing" section..

{actually just strong air and a brush - to make your new BaB all fluffy}

Adi quickly started trying on outfits..

Went through many..

Savannah "fluffing" her pup..

It's hard to see, but a possible fairy outfit for Savannah's doggie..

HERE is the right one!

BaB is a place where Savannah's & Adi's differing personalities

really show:

Adi chose quickly,

{the only thing she had decided in advance was she didn't want a bear}

named her dog while waiting to get it stuffed,

tried on as many outfits as possible

before choosing something we would have assumed she would choose..

{something girly, pink, sparkly, fancy}

Savannah has been telling me every time we walk past BaB

that if she went, she would choose the Portuguese Water Dog,

but when it was time to choose, it was a hard choice,

mulled endlessly over outfits,

trying on very few,

still trying to decide if this dog was a boy or a girl,

chose a dress,

which was a surprise..

{she tends to choose NOT so girly outfits}

Working on all that important paperwork..

Hailey doing her computer work..

Meanwhile, Adi had been done with everything for a while..

The girls with their finished puppies!!

Hailey & Chloe

Savannah & Nala

Thanks Grandma!!!
