Dad's Birthday Present
We were supposed to get back to posting last week, but Mom got involved with the local library book sale and she got behind with all her blogging. Can you imagine putting the library before our blog?
The last time we blogged we said Grandma made a special present for us for Dad's birthday. You might have noticed we have a bit of a love of fleece. Mama's Aunt made Bailey a Patriot's blanket of his own before Katy came into the family. Mama is not so good with a sewing machine. She claims they have it in for her. Grandma came to the rescue so the Patriot's blankie could be rested. It gets a periodic washing, but unlike Dad's sport fleece that get's rotated with the sports seasons, the Patriot's blankie has not had a break in a LONG time. Dad told Mama the Joann's has fleece on sale. Grandma told Mama if she could find the rest of the Boston sports teams in fleece she'd make our blankies. For that it might be worth letting the parents leave the house.
We are still working out the details of who gets to use which blanket, when, but we technically each have our own Red Sox blanket to rest on while watching them play.

ReplyDeleteLove the blankets! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice gift. We love the fleece blankets too. My dog Pierson not only likes to lay on them, but he likes to play with them too. He's wrapped himself up in them on accident a few times. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to have such a clever Grandma!One of my grandma's is very crafty, but she doesn't like dogs (imagine!!!) so she doesn't make me anything, and the other one couldn't sew a button on! :(
