Beach

Sunday. 8.12.12.

Anna's 9th Birthday Party at the Beach! 

The one day when the family is home. Not working. And not doing anything else. ;P

Foggy in the morning. But sun burned it off by noon-ish...

 Puzzles and Lemon Heads.

 Mary wanted a new skirt yesterday. And just happened to have some pre-washed fabric around--how handy! I didn't really have an excuse NOT to. And I need to get some of my stuff mended/altered. So. I might as well head out to the sewing machine...

This is the front. Pieces. 

 The front. Sewn.

 The back pockets. Can you find them?!

Hey! It's nice when brothers go on vacation! That means, they come home early the afternoon before. And once they are all packed and don't know what else to do. 'Cause they work so much. They can be persuaded to make their sister, who is hot and tired of sewing, an ice cream sandwich out of their own creative ingenuity! Cast your eyes upon this one:

This one was like PERFECT! The textures of creamy smoothness and the crunchy cracker coming together quite nicely. Ice cream the amazing temperature that's not too hard but melts scrumptiously in your mouth. Salty. Sweet. Saucy. 

Crunchy. Caramely. Creamy. 

Uh-huh. Oh yeah! 

Thanks, Chris!!! I'd hire you any day!
