For Leila's Birthday she was promised a trip to Build-A-Bear Workshop. This is a very fun, interactive store where the kids take part in stuffing and naming and doing all sorts of things to bond with their newest stuffed animal. Well, at Leila's birthday things were just beginning to get tight for us budget wise. She forgot about it, so we didn't bring it up. "What horrible parents!" you must think. I agree- not cool, and I didn't feel really good about it either, but whatever.
She did remember from time to time- usually in between paydays- and let us know we "forgot". We kept putting off the trip for when Daddy gets paid. Well, we started our "Conser Family Reward" program and I asked her if we could list it as an activity to do after we get enough stars. She very logically told me that wasn't fair. This trip to BABWSHP was for her birthday, NOT for a reward that she had to work for. I couldn't deny that logic(Plus I still felt guilty about 'forgetting' the trip in the first place). I noticed that they started advertising more $10 bears than ever, so we made this a joint trip. A late birthday trip for Leila, and an early birthday trip for Nathan. It wouldn't cost much if they picked the $10 bears and we woudl heros for both the kids. Well, we didn't stick with the $10 bears, even though that was the purpose and the $10 bears were adorable(They had a dog, a koala bear, and several typical teddy bears). But we didn't get any accessories either(much more difficult for me than the kids- I really wanted Nates to have glasses and Leila's to have a cell phone or a hair piece.).
Leila found a puppy- named Lucky. Nathan found a monkey he originally named Baukie- but changed to George on the way home. It was a fun night- we went home and made some pizza. (This took place Friday, November 21st- FUN DAYS!).
