Many years ago, my Grandma embellished these umbrellas.
She was in a performing group. They did all sorts of musical shows, and she made all her costumes for their acts. When the group stopped doing performances, she gave me many of her costumes and props. I’ve been holding on to them for years, just waiting for the time to pull them out.
These umbrellas were just right for us this week.
We used one for this little counting and number identification game:
Cut off the “raindrop,” count the dots on it, find the right number, and stick it up.
Even better, was how perfect they were to dance with while “Singing in the Rain” again.
I mentioned in this post how Miss was asking me to sing rain songs while we played outside in the actual rain with their regular umbrellas, and all I could come up with was “Blame It On the Rain.”
This time, it was raining outside again, but it was cold and windy, so we opted to dance with our special umbrellas inside.
I pulled up some Gene Kelly on You Tube and we danced and sang.
It makes me smile to see them dancing with my Grandma’s fancy umbrellas.
I think they have some of her musical talent too.
Thanks Gram.
