Date Night!

Seth and I enjoyed a fun date night after school yesterday. It was a much-needed time to talk, flirt, and laugh together. First, we went to My Jalapeno, a Mexican restaurant nearby. We had only been there once before and were very impressed. My favorite Mexican food is the chimichanga, so I thought I would try it there. I was not disappointed! Our next stop was Dairy Queen where I tried the mocha chip Blizzard. Oh my goodness, I found my new favorite Blizzard flavor! It was truly amazing! After going home to change clothes, we went out to the park, took silly photos, and walked the trails. As we walked, Seth, who is a former boy scout, began to name the various trees and tell me all about their identifying characteristics. Each time he mentioned a tree's name, I would start singing a folk song containing the name of that tree.

Oh sister Phoebe how merry we were, the night we sat under the Juniper Tree...

I see the moon, the moon sees me, down through the leaves of the old Oak Tree...

See the little Birch in the meadow...

Let us chase the squirrel, up the hickory down the hickory...

Apple tree, apple tree, will your apples fall on me...

I could go on and on. As an elementary music teacher who is the daughter of a music teacher, I am a human jukebox. What can I say? Being hyped up on caffeine, I thought this was HILARIOUS!

Finally, I fell asleep on the couch 10 minutes into Sherlock Holmes. We will try to watch this again tonight...
