I sat across with my legs, with my Iced Teas on my knee, and watched her dancing.

Are that sentences OK ?

Thank you

across with my legs
isn't OK/idiomatic

Just make a search at Yahoo for
"across with my legs"
(quotation marks are important)
and you'll see a very low number of hits

The rest seems OK.
Now you have some work to doSmile [:)]
------
across with
is seen only in some constructions, such as:

Come across (with)
[link]

or
put across (with)
(search the idiom site I gave you some time ago)
