I’ve had the blessing of sharing time with my firstborn grandson this week, and we started the day with cinnamon rolls, coffee, and reading in the local coffee shop on our town square. We planned to go book shopping and see the new Indiana Jones movie today, too.
He comes by book fever honestly – – but we had to whittle down the wish list by half. Usually, he gets his books from the library, since he reads about 3 books each week in the summer – – but there were some newer titles that he didn’t want to have to wait to read.
Nanas are supposed to spoil their grandchildren, right?
After seeing the new Indiana Jones movie, we worked on a knot blanket together. He picked out two fleece patterns (one was old cars, like on Route 66!), and we got two yards of each pattern – a top and bottom section. We cut a fringe around the edges and knotted the top to the bottom all around the edges.
And look what we made together today! A blanket to keep him warm for the coming winter (although after a near-100 degree today today, it’s hard to imagine that the world might ever be cold again).
Here’s our finished product!
What a great time we are having together this summer!
