Babies, Blankets and BAM! The Weekend!

Busier than usual for this momma!

I got THE instruction manual...

while oldest sister is at school all day,

I have to tend to her dolls.

Oh, she asked nicely, and I obliged.

Didn't realize what was in store for me though.

Getting these 6 littles ready takes her 15 minutes.

Took me like all morning.

I'm totally blaming my assistant.

He tried to undress them, made lotsa messes and drew (pencil..whew) on Emily's bed!

I think I will have to fire him! Ha!

So, unseasonably cold and rainy here (daytime: 60's).

And last Friday it hit 100 degrees.

Weird.

Loving the cooler change though.

So, last nite, after reading this blogger friend's post, I laughed.

Blankies.

We know a lot about them here!

I had one as a child: Cacky.

I sucked my index finger and rubbed the silky on the edge of the blanket.

Stopped sucking my finger, but kept that blanket...

until 6th grade.

I kept cutting it down to eventually a bit of nothing.

Then it was gone.

Got a new one right before I flew out the door to college.

Whoa!

That blanket has been EVERYWHERE, seen EVERYTHING.

Everyone knew that blanket.

I still have it.

Wanna see it?
It's now old and tired.

It stays in the drawer beside my bed.

You might even find it folded and napping at the end of my bed.

It has to be hand washed.

I keep losing more and more of it.

But guess what?

After having it sewn too many times to count...it still has some silky on it!

Ya, you might find me rubbing the silky part once in a blue moon...or a lot more than that!

Hubs has a blankie too!

Cookie Monster blue.

His grandmother made it for him when he was a little guy.

Everyone fights for it on cool evenings!

So after our crazy blankie obsessions...okay...MY blankie obsession...

got smart when our sweet babies came along.

I used white cloth diaper blankies.

Bought like 3,000 of them.

Jon's sister had them too (for her girls).

Jon's mom kept some at her house (just in case we forgot ours).

I could smell them all and know which ones were mine.

Ya, crazy huh?

Well, the girls did sleep with theirs, but no longer.

Henry was never into them.

So, I have 3,000 white diaper blankies that I just can't use for cleaning rags...just yet.

And I'm pretty darn excited that my children did NOT inherit my blankie obsession!


So, it's THE WEEKEND!

Holla if you are as excited for me!

The girlies were pumped for their last school day of the week!

We have lots in store over our weekend!

Can't wait to get it started!
Enjoy yours!
