Anyway, I had an idea to make a road for the boys. Something they could use on the floor or table or outside.  Something that I could roll up and put away at will.  I made a little drawing, took some measurements, made a list of materials and packed the boys up into the car to go to Joann.

A couple hours later (a trip to Target was included. And having both boys with me? Chaos! It’s been so long since I’ve had them both at the same time shopping with Matt in school!!) we made it back home with supplies and an idea spinning in my head.

The boys got in the bath, so I got started (don’t panic, Mike was with them!). My sewing maching got a hell of a workout last night!

By 1am, I was done. This is the result of my idea and time spent:

Here’s the pink one with fringe:

And just for fun, I made this water bottle identifier / poncho type thingy:
