Birth of a bunny

In the summers Koby and Morgan "work" for my grandma. Koby mows the lawn and Morgan does little odd jobs around the house-vacuuming, dusting, smashing soda cans, cutting down weeds, etc. Morgan is a pretty good saver and she saved enough money to make a trip to Build a bear workshop. We have never been because, well honestly because I am cheap and they sell expensive stuffed animals. But anyway...Morgan saw a commercial that was advertising a "great" sale. You could get any stuffed animal, any outfit and any shoes for $29. **Skip the rest and just look at the pictures if you are familiar with this store, it will just bore you!*** So we headed to the mall and it was pretty fun. The employees there are pretty awesome and make a big deal out of every animal. Morgan picked out a bunny really quick. Then we spent a long time searching for the right outfit and shoes. It was an important decision and Morgan took it very seriously. (think teenager preparing for a date) When the decision was made she got to help stuff the bunny shell and after shaking it to start pumping and kissing it for luck, she added a heart to the bunny. She got to determine if the bunny was too soft or too hard. Then she bathed it (vacuumed the fuzzies off)and dressed it. We then sat down at a computer and she got to name the bunny-Kaylee. They printed off a birth certificate, let Morgan pick out some bows for her hair and placed her in her "condo" (box). It took a long time but it was worth it-Morgan was so happy and she couldn't stop smiling. She takes Kaylee with us just about everywhere. She found some of Maylee's old clothes so she has more than one outfit.
