.:[The Build-a-Bear Jumping Spider]:.

Today, I walked into the Build-a-Bear at my local mall, and walked out with two spiders. I was only planning on getting the mini-bean, since I thought the big one looked a little off. The feet in the initial promo image looked pretty big and wonky. However, it looked a lot cuter in person. I may have caved into buying it.

Never talk to me or my son ever again

It may have been hard for me to cope with the loss of my beloved jumping spider, Luka, but at least I have a giant plush of a spider to cuddle with. These plushies are so soft, too...

The employee who stuffed the regular sized spider mentioned that nobody expected the spiders to be selling so well. I noticed that many others in the store also had the regular and mini-bean size spiders. I'm happy, since jumping spiders are some of the cutest creatures on the planet.
