Grant the Pirate

My cousin Rebecca and her husband Brian have two of these sweetest, cutest and polite little boys I know, Grant and Garrett.

Grant and Harper

Cousin Garrett

I love my little cousins and Grant and Garrett are so special to Josh and me. Grant has always been a BIG fan of Josh’s and Josh loves to play with these two. We love getting to see them, but they live in Memphis so visits are few and far between. When they are in town we always try to visit and we have taken a few trips to Memphis to visit as well. I do always make sure we send birthday gifts and little special surprises to make sure they know we are thinking of them. So Grant is turning 4, oh my, and he is obsessed with pirates. So we got him this great pirate set that has gold coins, a little bag for his coins, pirate paper, invisible ink markers and a compass that has a UV light to show the invisible ink. It turns out Grant in having a complete pirate party as well. So I thought it would be great to make him a pirate shirt for his party. I found a camo tshirt on sale at Walmart for just $2, bought a little bit of pirate fabric and some felt and we were in business. I placed a piece of fabric that has a P on it for his patch….You know P is for pirate, patch and parrot (just can’t escape that teacher in me). I also cut out a parrot from some fabric and made it a patch for the sleeve. I really hope Grant loves it.

Tators Granters!
