We’re in the midst of a snowstorm and right now I’d welcome a truckload of sand on the hallway floor rather than the pile of snow I have outside my windows!
That’s cute! My kids do that in the summer when they miss the snow. Of course, it’s late January in Montreal so now they take their shovel and pail sets outside and build castles because they miss the summer and sand.
Love it! How did she get that awesome bruise on her knee? She reminds me of Pippi Longstocking here. Not the clothes but the missing tooth, bruises and free to get dirty attitude.
Chris says: It actually wasn’t a bruise. It was all red and dirty from kneeling in the sand playing.
You let her wear socks in the sand? Ewww!
And yes, she’s adorable.
Chris says: They are her feet and her socks, so I don’t really care. Now *I* wouldn’t go in sand wearing socks.
Sorry, but when I first saw this I really couldn’t help but giggle! It’s just not the same without the puffy legs and sleeves of winter clothes. After I was done laughing, I wanted to cry, because I would much rather be there, than here in the frozen tundra!
I liked it better when you were suffering in the cold along with the rest of us, lol. Shorts! Really, come on!!! We are expecting a “significant” amount of snow on Friday. The news casters will not say how much and I think it is because it would cause riots in the food stores over the last loves of bread and milk.
The look on her face is priceless! My guess is that the feel of a sandy “snow angel” is not quite so nice and soft as the regular variety. On the plus side she won’t have to exfoliate for a while
Chris says: On the contrary, I think the sand feels much better than the freezing snow!
Aww, she’s losing her baby teeth! Hope she doesn’t have to wait as long for the tooth fairy as some of her brothers did.
Don’t you find that kind of “snow” nearly impossible to wash out of a girl’s hair? I hate when mine gets that “snow angel” urge on the beach. But I don’t stop her, how often are you 5?
As the flakes are flying here in CT and the temps are dropping quickley I check your site and smile and wish can’t we all make snow angels in the sand in shirt sleeves please.
Aren’t you anticipating cold winter is around the corner but it never comes? I’m envious of you all still wearing short sleeves!!!

I would much rather be making those than the snow kind:) I just moved from Florida to a suburb of Cincy and I am sick of the snow. Already….and we haven’t really had a ton of it yet.
when you don’t write everyday I just figure CPS has picked you up, shuffled the chirrens off to 7 different foster homes and dear husband has come home to a jar of fake lemons and the remote all to himself.
It makes me chuckle…
Hope all is well.
Did I ever tell you my dad bit a fake pear once?
Poor thing looks like she is in so much pain. “Keep going. Who cares about the shells ripping up your skin! I have blog this!!!! It’s blogging GOLD!” haha I’m joking. Very cute.
Chris says: There were no shells. It was a volleyball court. It was probably filled with cat pee since it seems like a it would be a litter box meccafor all the cats in the area.
I grew up in California — how is it that I never thought to do this at the beach?!? Next time I am visiting my parents I am TOTALLY going to do this, sand in the ears and all.
That last part looks painful.
January 27th, 2010 at 12:40 pmNo offense but that’s just pitiful LOL. I bet you all miss the snow if even only a little.
January 27th, 2010 at 12:56 pmWe’re in the midst of a snowstorm and right now I’d welcome a truckload of sand on the hallway floor rather than the pile of snow I have outside my windows!
January 27th, 2010 at 1:03 pmI want to live with you….
January 27th, 2010 at 1:35 pmThat’s exactly how we do them in Florida!
January 27th, 2010 at 1:56 pmThat’s cute! My kids do that in the summer when they miss the snow. Of course, it’s late January in Montreal so now they take their shovel and pail sets outside and build castles because they miss the summer and sand.
January 27th, 2010 at 1:57 pmLooks amazingly like Georgia snow angels!
January 27th, 2010 at 2:08 pmLove it! How did she get that awesome bruise on her knee? She reminds me of Pippi Longstocking here. Not the clothes but the missing tooth, bruises and free to get dirty attitude.
Chris says: It actually wasn’t a bruise. It was all red and dirty from kneeling in the sand playing.
January 27th, 2010 at 2:29 pmwell, that’s one way to exfoliate!
January 27th, 2010 at 4:00 pmLOL - love her goofy face in the last one. Was she getting squicked out by the sand?
January 27th, 2010 at 4:04 pmThis is hilarious! Love it! I’m in California so I have the best of both sand and snow
January 27th, 2010 at 4:13 pmIt’s supposed to actually snow in Fort Worth on Friday, so maybe you can make two versions in the same week! Texas is so weird.
January 27th, 2010 at 4:13 pmYou let her wear socks in the sand? Ewww!
January 27th, 2010 at 4:24 pmAnd yes, she’s adorable.
Chris says: They are her feet and her socks, so I don’t really care. Now *I* wouldn’t go in sand wearing socks.
Looks like it hurts!
January 27th, 2010 at 5:17 pmSo much fun! Love those tomboy knees.
January 27th, 2010 at 5:56 pmLove the gappy teeth
Tell me - are the kids missing the snow? (I can guess you aren’t!)
January 27th, 2010 at 6:11 pmSorry, but when I first saw this I really couldn’t help but giggle! It’s just not the same without the puffy legs and sleeves of winter clothes. After I was done laughing, I wanted to cry, because I would much rather be there, than here in the frozen tundra!
January 27th, 2010 at 6:38 pmLove the missing tooth! Hating you and your warm weather right about now.
January 27th, 2010 at 6:43 pmDid she lose one of her front teeth? I feel weird for noticing, but there’s something distinctive about that type of shadow/gapping…

January 27th, 2010 at 9:15 pmI love this. I especially love the no shoes part. These pics makes me think of my own childhood.

January 27th, 2010 at 11:18 pmI totally love these! Welcome to this hot, steamy, sandy, humid state.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:00 amThe Singaporean style too!
January 28th, 2010 at 1:55 amAww, she’s losing her baby teeth! Hope she doesn’t have to wait as long for the tooth fairy as some of her brothers did.

January 28th, 2010 at 7:28 amJust as much fun, but much less cold than snow. BTW: Love the missing front teeth age.

January 30th, 2010 at 1:53 pmI HAD to comment…because I love doing this when I am in Florida…..and everyone always laughs. I am glad to have a partner in crime.
January 31st, 2010 at 12:29 amI guess there are angels everywhere if we look hard enough. LOL.
