Build a Bear

Kate got a Build a Bear gift certificate for her birthday, so on the rainy Sunday afternoon last weekend we took the kids to the mall. 

Waiting in line to build their bears. 

Andrew's favorite part was pushing the pedal that filled the bear with stuffing. He liked it so much that he volunteered to do Kate's too...she declined. 

 Closing his eyes and making a wish on the bear's heart that went inside. 

All done!

 And filling her bear with stuffing. 

 There are few things that Kate loves more than her "guys"!

 Putting the bear's heart on her cheeks so that he "always has a smile". 

 The kids then took their bears over to the air showers to get cleaned.

What a sweet way to spend another rainy afternoon!
