We made our own sunshine today! There was lots of sunbathing….
…jumping around in our bathing suits, dancing to music by The Beach Boys…
…reading trashy novels (or library books)….
…and what beach day would be complete without ice pops?
Now, if you’ll excuse me…. I think I hear my piña colada calling.

What a fun idea!!!

@ Mark — Just do me a favor and don't look at the thermostat when you get home. Hee hee!
February 23rd, 2010 on 5:08 pm
Wow – you are just so very creative!
February 23rd, 2010 on 5:09 pm
How fun! I was wondering if you had cranked up the thermostat
February 23rd, 2010 on 5:14 pm
Very cute. And I love your thermostat comment – it makes all the difference for the ice pops!

Awww, I used to do this with my older two when they were this age! How I miss those days…

Wow — you went all out once again. I can't believe the detail you put into those leaves. It looks like the perfect way to spend another blah winter day.

I love it!
February 23rd, 2010 on 6:34 pm

such fun!
I love your quilt too. Did you make it?

That looks like so much fun.
Our beach day was not as warm as yours. But it was really nice to be there.
Love Val

After fifteen minutes working on cleaning my windshield, my hot coffee was iced!!! Got room on that beach blanket for one more?
Reading suggestion: "One Dog Canoe"
I'll bet you could make a super fun activity out of that storybook's plot.

Okay, you and your girls have way too much fun!
February 24th, 2010 on 11:58 am
@ Suzi Dow — Now I am intrigued! Thanks for the heads-up!

That's so cute and the girls look like they're having so much fun. Where do you find the time?
Dear Mark,
Yesterday it was the sandpaper. Today it's the blue paper. Either you're being jacked for your supplies or you're not being truthful. Picture me with eyebrow raised. LOL
Enjoy the sun,
Petula
Dear Valerie,
When I was looking at the pictures and noticed the vent I was wondering if you had turned up the heat. Fabulous!
I would have done the same thing!

Make mine a margarita!
Looks fun! We certainly could use a little of that sunshine
February 25th, 2010 on 1:05 pm

Hi from New Zealand, What fun, I will hand that idea on to my sister who has two little ones, cheers Marie

What a fun idea!
I've been looking for blogs like this one, but for some reason have a hard time finding them. This one is definitely fun and I'll be checking back often for ideas.
