Sam will cream me when he finds out I put the first photo up on the blog...oh well!! This was how we were when we took our Christmas tree down...perhaps one to many late nights or perhaps we're just CRAZY!
On the last day of school before Christmas vacation, Sam's 4th grade class made tied blankets for sick kids in the hospital. He told us he would like to show us how to make one. Summer heard that and wanted one too. Coach Mom decided making these would be a nice keepsake, and good time sucker project for the kids to tackle. Off to the store we went where the kids each picked two flannel fabrics. Sam picked footballs in brown tones for one, and all different sports balls for the other. Summer picked soccer balls for one and princess' for the other. Once we got home, we spread them out on the floor. Sam showed us how to cut, & then tie them together. Sam did his completely on his own...took quite a while but he stuck with it and did a good job. The kids both like their blankets, especially Summer, and are proud of the work they did. They wanted me to show them off to you.
Hope you can stay warm in these Winter days. If you need help in that department, I know two kids that will take blanket orders!
