Build A Bear

Audrey really really really wanted to go to Build a Bear last week. So she ended up counting her money and we went Friday night. They didn't have the exact dog she saw online that she wanted but she found another dog and since we found a coupon also she even got to buy a dress for the dog. It was a great lesson in how much things cost...she was a little shocked when she saw how much of her money she would have to spend. This is a picture of her at Longhorn's with her creation (we went there on Saturday for lunch).

On Saturday they also played in the water sprinkler. It was hot outside but that water was cold. I was surprised at how long they lasted.
I saw a sign yesterday that said "don't count days, make every day count" but I have to say that there are 19 days left of school, 36 until we go to the beach and 66 until Disney...and I am counting!

How fun! Where in the world do you get build a bear coupons?

If you google "printable build a bear coupons" it will give you some ideas. I saw a post where someone said there was a pullout coupon in the May issue of Good Housekeeping which is where we got ours. They are sometimes on the teddy graham boxes too. It is a good deal, usually $5 off a $10 or more animal purchase (you can't use it to just buy clothes).

That's great advice, thanks! I get their e-mails, but so far I've never seen any special offer there. We have a little bit of money left on gift certificates to go again so it would be nice to extend the $.
