With Labor Day right around the corner it is official, summer has ended. A little reminder of those beautiful warm days at the beach Under the Umbrella. We didn't get a chance to hit the beach this summer, this photograph was taken in 2012 in Ocean City along the Jersey Shore.
When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task.. Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue.. Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in the floori
Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic.. Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making

Ah...feels like I was there! I'm always glad for cooler temps though...can't say I'm bummed about autumn around the corner!
ReplyDeleteTracy and I made it to the beach earlier this Summer and we loved it! Hopefully we can make it every year.

Wow! Love all the beach umbrellas.
ReplyDeleteLove those colors. I went to the beach only once — but this makes me want to squeeze in a couple more visits before the cold sets in!
ReplyDeleteWe have a pool so there's never a reason to go to one of our local beaches :(
ReplyDeleteWOW. I've never seen a sky blue as blue as this! It's so beautiful!! =)
