Clara and Emma Have Their First Build-A-Bear Experience

After speech, Clara and Emma headed to the mall with Mommy to run some errands, including getting some carpet samples for the dining room and living room.And, Nordstrom was kind enough to give Clara and Emma a balloon, just for passing through-except Mommy couldn't see where she was pushing the stroller. Ah...the scarifices.

As a special treat, and because Mommy had a gift card to use, Clara and Emma had their first Build-A-Bear experience. Both ladies chose the bunny rabbit (okay, so Mommy told them they got to pick the bunny or bear, whatever the gift card would cover). When it was their turn, Clara got to help stuff her bunny first, followed by Emma. Together, they got their hearts and went through the whole shtick where they got to rub their tummies, jump twice, kiss the heart etc. It was adorable.

On the way home, Mommy asked them what they did and they both told stories of how they stuffed the bear and got a heart and helped put it in. It was very cute.

Photos of carpet ideas below. Thoughts are welcome. Clara and Emma like them all and think that they are, as Emma says "beautiful and comfy," and they both think they are meant for jumping.
















These are some carpet options for the living room. Mommy prefers the one on the bottom right. These are options for the dining room. The top one is the carpet the sales lady thought would go nicely with green paint and the carpets above.
