On Saturday I was really stressed about it so I decided to forget about everything else I had planned for the day and to focus totally on my girls. We decided we would do whatever they wanted that day.
Our adventures started with a trip to Build a Bear. We have only been there one other time but Bailey LOVES it and has been wanting to go back. Since it was her day we obliged and took them. We also thought it might be a good chance to teach the girls how to work together and to work for someone else by having them make a bear for their new sister as a gift.
They actually worked really well together and didn't fight at all!!!!! (Which was the highlight of my day!) They chose out a pink bear with a summery dress and leggins. Their favorite part of the whole experience was giving the bear a "bath" after it was stuffed. I think it is now the cleanest bear in the world.
Claire insisted the bear sit in a hot pink chair while getting dressed. Scott had the honor of dressing the pink bear in pink clothes while the bear sat in a pink chair, what a good dad!
We couldn't get the girls to pay attention long enough to get a good picture of them and the bear. But I promise the bear is really cute!
After Build a Bear, we let the girls spend some time at the germ infested playground. Am I the only mother that gets totally grossed out by mall playgrounds that every snotty nosed kid insists on playing on? But it was their day so I didn't try to talk/bribe them out of it.
To top of the morning we went to In and Out for lunch. We have yet to convince the girls that they would like hamburgers if they would try them, so they ate french fries for lunch. I had good intentions of feeding them some healthy food when we got home but that never happened so they had french fries for lunch.
The morning was finished off with eating candy hearts, loving on the bear and belting out the lyrics to Bailey favorite song about corn dogs on our way home.

you are one great mom.:)
Your girls are so darling! They looked like they had a blast at Build-A-Bear. What a great mom!
How fun. You're not the only mom grossed out by the mall playgrounds. I avoid them, but know there will come a day where I have to give in and just let him play. No worries though, there will be a Purell bath afterwards! Ha ha. Can't wait til the baby comes!
Sounds like so much fun. I took Blake and Hallie to make a bear when Chase was born too! You're such a good mom. :)
