Drew's Completed Blanket

Natalie, Rylie and Drew played while I was sewing the binding onto the quilt. They made popcorn mixed with Flaming Hot Cheetos and ice cubes. By the time it was all done (and I made them throw it out) it looked like... well, I'm sure you can imagine. Not pretty, but they sure had fun making it!

I finally finished it today. Yay! Drew was so excited, and loved wrapping himself up in it this afternoon. When it was bedtime he was excited to sleep with it. Then he started complaining. When he doesn't want to wear a particular shirt he'll say it itches. Today we had to try on 3 different shirts before we found one that didn't itch. If he would have told anyone which shirt he wanted to wear it would have been so much easier. But I guess it's more fun for us to bring him several shirts, and then have him say that they itch so he can't wear them. Anyway, tonight at bedtime he started saying he couldn't use his new blanket because it itches. Ugh! Now what am I going to do? At least it looks cute...Mom, I'm sure you'll be disappointed, but I don't pin when I sew. I hate it. It takes so much time to put them in, then you have to remove them as you go along, it's just a pain. (That's part of the reason I can't make clothing. I'm real good at hemming, though!)

See how happy I am to be done?!

Drew checks out his blanket for the first time.

It passes muster. (This is his new expression for the camera when he's happy or excited.)

After I was done with the blanket I got to fold the laundry. I won't let anyone else do it. I don't even like anyone to touch it after I've had surgery. Seriously. It has to be just so. If someone does it (cough *Mom* cough), I have to dump the baskets out and redo them. I sure hope I never break a hand. My laundry OCD would probably give me fits!

Natalie and Rylie were playing some game with the little Easter chicks they made. They put them in the really large eggs and I really couldn't follow what they were saying. They had a fun time, though.
