We Love Durham NC

Happy Valentine’s Day

The Build-A-Bear folks have been throwing coupons at us like mad… $10 off, $8 off, free animal… so we took them up on it and headed to Southpoint after school. We took our little BaB buddies with the intent to get them Valentine’s t-shirts. (Hey, stuffies celebrate, too!) As is typical, the plan changed so that the koala got a Cat in the Hat shirt (which she can wear to the Dr. Seuss Birthday Party at A Sea of Learning later this month!) and the penguin got a Carolina Panthers shirt. Football, Valentine’s, whatever.

While the choosing was happening, I had time to people-watch the earnest dating couples buying gifts for little sisters, the young guy buying a bride bear which I imagine will be the “box” for a ring tomorrow, and gaggles of 14 year olds buying each other bears decked in hearts sporting pink sparkly cell phones (the bears, not the girls…okay, also the girls).

Koala-bear and penguin-bear took on new personalities in their new attire. Grr, penguin-bear, go long!
It’s the fun mom-moments like this that make all the nagging about teeth, vegetables, and piano practice worth it.
