Fun with FUR!
Yesterday was my one outing for the week. Ok I did go to WallyWorld on Friday night,but it was a rushed trip. Yesterday though was planned, at least in the beginning. Lisa & I were supposed to attend an all day baking seminar put on by King Arthur Flour; we've been waiting *3 years* to attend one. She called ahead the night before to make sure we could bring the baby and was told it was no problem. Well, we got there and due to poor planning on the part of the function coordinator and poor communication on the part of KAF's staff, we saw literally dozens of people standing around because there were no chairs left and no room to put more anyhow and then told we couldn't have the baby there. Needless to say we were much less than pleased and gone within about 10mins. As we left the hotel, we saw others leaving as well and they didn't sound any happier than we did about it all.
So what are two moms and a baby to do on a beautiful and warm sunny day? Why go shopping of course! Before Lisa had her daughter we had planned to go to Build A Bear to make her first lovie,but for various reasons it never worked out. Now we had no excuses. When we got to BAB, it was typically crowded,but we didn't mind; we were mommies on a mission! On Friday, Princess G had received a BAB email showing the newest lovie; a lamb and it is TOO CUTE! Princess G loves lambs; her very first lovie ever was a lamb and she still has it, she also went through a Lambchop phase when the show was popular the second time around. Well, when we walked around looking at all the lovies, we all thought it was just too cute to pass up. Mind you, we went in with the intention of making bears! Fuggedaboutit! When Lisa handed it to KeeKee; she grabbed it in both of her tiny fists and starting chewing LOL (lucky there was no mint jelly around eh?). We both made lambies for our baby girls and it set the rest of the day off in a much happier tone. (Princess G will get to make one for her birthday in April if they still have them).
After many hours and a few detours we finally remembered where we live and headed home having had many laughs, dozens of smiles, cheery conversation with other adults besides our families and best of all a happy baby who I must say was good as gold after such a long day. And beleive it or not I had only TWO contractions all day. Hmmm....a month of bedrest and contractions all the time while resting; then an outing like that and I got two? Someone 'splainy if you will. Maybe God figured I was due for a happy, silly day?
Now I ask you, doesn't this little lamb look like she's just asking to be played with and snuggled by a little girl?

I love the little Lamb! What did you name her? We love Build a Bear! I know Miss K will love her lambie so!
Paige, this is Allison Rogers at King Arthur Flour and I want to apologize for your negative experience at our recent baking classes. It should have been a fun day for you and your friend, especially after three years of waiting! Because we do not require advanced registration, we never know how many people will show up - and the day you came, we were pleasantly surprised with over 400 people at the class! (We generally set up the room for about 250 people, and that's usually plenty!) Also, we always welcome children and babies - after all, we believe baking is a tradition to share with the whole family - so I'm surprised and disappointed that anyone would have made you feel unwelcome. I hope you'll accept my sincere apology on behalf of all of us employee-owners here at King Arthur Flour. Best wishes for happy and healthy baking.
She looks sooooo cute....
I am glad you got out for a bit and so happy that the lamb has a good home to go to.....
Thanks Girls! K1's is KeeKee and Princess K's (aka K2) is KiKi. We've been referring to them that way for months so it seemed fitting :-)
