Saturday was Kierstin's Birthday party at the Build-A-Bear Workshop.

If I'd had any idea what I was getting myself into, I'd have convinced her that she wanted to have a sleepover at home. It would have been way less nerve-wracking, I'm sure.

The place was crowede to begin with, then add a line of 11 girls of assorted ages marching through the store shouting "Chose Me!" and you've got yourself a party. My favorite moment was when said line marched around yelling "Stuff Me!" repeatedly.

Aside from the clogged stuffing blower thingy, it went off without issues, though. Everyone had fun, and the monster raked in a fat load of loot. She got enough beads to make a necklace and bracelet for every girl in her first-grade class. When we got home, she lined up her haul in a very orderly fashion, across the length of her bedroom, and sat and admired it all for a moment before beginning the onslaught. Right now there are barbie boxes and bead strings and assorted packaging strewn about her bedroom. It's a disaster area.
