An unfurgetable day at

Build-A-Bear

at Highpoint in Melbourne.

I drove there yesterday with Mad, Seb & my mum.. it was a great effort on my behalf to actually drive there and back, I never or have never driven past Werribee.

Both Mad & Seb had a great time building their bears. Mads is Coco, Sebs is Luke - yes after Luke skywalker/starwars, at least it wasnt Dick or Bruce from Batman which we have numerous things named after...

They got to pick their bear, then stuff it - soft/medium/hard - sounds like you are cooking a steak :-) both choose soft.

Then they got to make a wish on a small heart which is put inside the bears...oh how I would love to know the wishes of a 7 & 10 yr old ....

Then onto the bath - well air blower to "fluff" them up. Next the main bit - dressing them.

Seb wanted a soccer / superhero outfit ...none available, so settled on a police uniform, of course with matching hat and shoes. He was happy and done in 15 mins.

Madeline - well .....she would still be there trying on all the clothes if we didnt make her hurry up. with my mum ( think she was having fun ) helping her try on nearly every outfit in the shop, we ended up with a pr jeans and top, and with her money got a pink dressing gown.

Nearly 2 hours later - think they should have a coffee machine in there , we were finished and they were carring Coco & Luke home.

Mum spend big - a tattslotto ticket, me - a measuring cup....

It was a unfurgatable day...
