Sunny Day

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.

    @ Mark — Just do me a favor and don't look at the thermostat when you get home. Hee hee!

    How fun! I was wondering if you had cranked up the thermostat 😉

    Very cute. And I love your thermostat comment – it makes all the difference for the ice pops!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
