My best friend and I played the pop the balloon game at the Fun Forest for hours to get those. Or, best of all - make a Chewie backpack with C3PO on HIS back!

Yes, I said it. Leashes), that look like puppies and are supposed to double as a backpack?<br /><br />Well, I bought one for my toddler yesterday, and I have to say, I was very disappointed with the backpack portion of the thing.<br /><br />Please, Jen. Go to Target and look at one (in the baby travel section), then recreate it geek-style, with actual room for more than a baseball card in the pocket. Then I'll buy it from you. The only real difference is the straps, and the tail that clips on to be the LEASH.elissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-4844695300730862372011-05-24T16:12:10.788-04:002011-05-24T16:12:10.788-04:00oh man, I just donated my sister's old Hugga b...oh man, I just donated my sister's old Hugga bunch to the good will a month ago - want me to go see if it's still there?
