BUILD A HORSE

We went out to Memphis the day before Valentine's to have some fun with Brooke's friend, Carrington, at Build-A-Bear for her birthday. Nana and Pa sent the kids some money for Valentine's Day so they were excited to get to go somewhere different to spend it. I loaded up the car with stuff to occupy the kids, and seven of us piled in and set out for the hour long ride.

Brooke has had her eye on this horse for over a year. We planned on taking her to Build-A-Bear around her birthday, but Nathan's plane ended up getting delayed, we were all starving, and then ran out of time before the mall closed. Good thing I never told her about it.
She'd never actually built anything there, just bought outfits since the animals she has were gifts. All of those outfits and accessories are soooo stinking cute. But, boy oh boy, do they add up quick!
Cole didn't care anything about building a stuffed animal, but he waited patiently until the girls were done to go to GameStop. It might have helped that he'd already been warned that he'd better be good or else...

A quick pit stop to chillax after the great video game hunt.
And of course the trip isn't complete without a ride on the perfectly placed carousel in the front entrance.

Cole was disappointed that Jamison couldn't check out his new video games after the drive back home, but it sure didn't stop him from playing one anyway. I think he had it all set up before I even got everything out of the car. When it comes to video games, he's all business.
