The Blanket Bandit is Caught Red-Handed

Michael's favorite blanket was getting mighty stinky, so I decided to throw it in the washer, along with some other blankets.
I loaded the blankets in the washer, closed the door, and went to the cabinet to get detergent.
When I came back, THIS is what I found:

A BLANKET SNATCHER!!!



He might be cute, but he's still a criminal.



He thought he could steal his stinky blanket out of the washer and get away with it..


I put the blanket right back into the washer, but The Blanket Bandit was not very happy about it..



Since the door was now locked...The Blanket Bandit just had to wait for his blanket to be washed.





And 20 minutes later, he was still waiting....

    That is adorable! My youngest is four, and he still hates for his favorite blankie to be washed...

    I'm cracking up over your pictures, 'cause it looks like my house. My laundry set-up is the exact same. Is that a guest bathroom off to the left? That's how mine is set up. Too funny.

    Your little guy is so cute. I'm stopping by from SITS...

    Too cute!!! My Alex loved her "NaNa" (aka bunny) so much and when I had to wash it she would just sit next to the machines and CRYYYYYY!!!!! It was pitiful and kinda funny at the same time.

    I didn't think to take pictures though............{{sad}}

    I can't believe he was able to get that out! My son sleeps with a little 'sleepy bear' at night. Like one of those fabric squares with an animal head on it. Anyway, he has 5 of them. 5! It just got to hard to take the one away to wash it. I thought 2 would help. It still didn't. 3 and 4 came from Grandma and Auntie. And 5 was on clearance. Guess you can never be to sure when it comes to those things they love!

    Hilarious! Caught in the act. My girls each have blankies (and they are 7 & 3 lol) and they HATE when I wash them. My 7 yr old says the blanket feels "too soft" after washing. I realized that's the dirt leaving the blanket. She likes it kind of stiff -- with dirt. Ick. But it does give them comfort. Gotta seize moments of opportunity to secretly wash those blankies. I do it with stuffed animals too.

    We used to have to pry my son's lammy (he chewed on it) out of his hands while he slept and pray that he would sleep through the wash and dry cycles. He is a mighty cute criminal!
