i love when the weekend comes! matt and i conked out last night--but not before going to a mexican dive in ocean beach, getting some tacos for dinner, and eating them on the seawall as we watched the sun set and the surfers catch some waves. today matt the workhorse said that he's going to work again, so i might go check out some of the museums around town. haven't done that yet.
funny quotes from kids yesterday:
i was having a conversation with two of my third graders as all the kids were leaving yesterday and here's how it went:
tom: i am a huge follower of captain underpants and diaper baby books!
me: oh, are you? i was thinking about ordering some, should i?
tom: yeah!
karina: mrs. edwards, why are you under there?
(and this girl is a total space cadet and i wasn't under anything, so i totally fell for it!)
me: under where?
karina and tom: you just said "underwear" !!!!
and matt claims this is the best one so far. i can't decide, there are so many good ones!
when i work with my "s" kids, i always tell them to keep their tongue behind thier teeth (it likes to come out and make a "th" lisp, that everyone has heard!).
so i say, "keep the lion in the cage!" and every time we have speech, we decide which animal we want our tongue to be that day. keep in mind i have a 1st grader and a second grader:
me: so what animal do you want your tongue to be today?
kyle: mine is a tiger, again.
keegan: um, i'm thinking.
me: well, mine is a baboon. keegan, did you decide yet?
keegan: um....
kyle: is it a piece of poop?
me: (people, you would have been so proud of me, i did not crack a smile, although i wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness!) is that a word we say in speech?
kyle: no.
me: ok.
keegan: (answering kyle's original question, apparently unmoved) no... um... i think it's a spider monkey.
welp, enough of that! i'm off!

i just got back from a perfect weekend with my husband.
ahhhh...
it is SO MUCH FUN being married! it was fun to begin with, but it gets even more and more fun as we go!
we hung out at the beaches a lot this weekend, especially at our favorite san diego beach, san elijo. so peaceful and beautiful. there were a ton of surfers out this weekend, too, and they were fun to watch. as were at least 5 dolphins swimming along the shore, galloping in the water. also, we got to see a whale spout water up a few times, and matt actually saw it rise out of the water at one point! we watched the sun set and had a perfect view near the bottom of the cliffs on the beach. we went out to eat at a romantic italian restaurant--they brought me a thornless rose at the end of the meal! today we did some shopping and bought a couple of shirts, walked around pacific beach and mission beach, and now i'm home. matt is out playing basketball.
and now it is back to the daily grind, but we're both refreshed and ready. it helps to know that we're going to joshua tree in a couple of weeks, too!
