If all else flops... take a beach day!

Yesterday was one of those blah days. I just woke up feeling blah and the day never got any better. We all ate lunch at my sister's house and hubby and I planned to send out more resume's. Woo-hoo... can you feel the excitement? :-) No... I can't imagine why.

So, as Josiah lays in his portable crib for nearly 45 min's crying on and off becuase he does not want to take a nap, the children are playing outside and my sis and I are on our laptop's, sitting on the couch saying what a blah day. Then she says, yeah and it's too bad becuase it's such a lovely day. I was like let's look at what the weather is like in Carmel (the beach). I bring it right up on my laptop and it say 71 degrees at the beach, and getting warmer still... it's only 12:55pm. So my lovely sister says... "that's it, stop everything, get that baby out of bed, and let's go to the beach." She says this jsut as hubby walks into the room. And he and I both said at the same time... "OK.. let's do it!" So we packed us all up and into the truck in about 10-15 min's and we were on the road a little after 1pm. We were on the beach and playing by 2:30. We walked on the beach, splashed in the water, and played a rousing game of frisbee. (In which I must say I really suck at!) Well at least I participated... Now after looking at the pic's you might say to yourself... "who is that dork wearing jeans and long sleeve t-shirt?" Well, your answer would be me. Yep, well when I woke up I was cold and thought it would be long sleeve t-shirt weather... and on blah days, you wear jeans people. I mean that is the attire of a whatever kind of day, right? Anyway... even though I was very warm sitting and playing at the beach.. we all had such a lovely day! It was just what the dr ordered... or so I would suppose for my sister anyway.
Enjoy the pictures! And blessing to you all!

Great picture! I love the beach, I miss it since we moved from California. What a neat day with your family!

I have never used fat quarters before but I think they measure a quarter of a yard--they are just shaped differently. Go ahead and cut them using the instructions I posted and I think that you should come out OK. A regular quarter of a yard measures 9X40 which works out the same as 18X20 in area. Looks OK to me!
