Build-a-bear workshop

Today was a great day...Dad needed some time to get work done and Patrick has been asking me for about 6 months if we can go to Build-A-Bear Workshop. Well since Dad needed to work we decided that today was the day. The kids got up this morning not knowing that we were going, and they practically blew the roof off of the house when they found out. Before we even went they told us what they wanted. Patrick wanted a Puppy and Megan wanted a Bunny.

Here is Megan's Bunny dressed in what Megan calls

"Fluffy's yellow Tinkerbell dress"

complete with wings.

Patrick went for a simple puppy which he named Truffles. He wanted everyone to see a before and after shot of his dog.

Here is Truffles in full costume. Patrick has informed me that his pups full name is Truffles "Spiderman Dog" Gaines.

The kids have played with their new friends all day. You would not believe how often these critters need to be dressed and undressed. It was a wonderful experience, and the children have really benefited from it.

On a different note: It looks like the restaurant is going to be opening on August 16th. Chris is very excited and can't wait to be so close to home. He is going to take some new pictures and I will post them as soon as I get them.
