Lots of Turtles!


By our house there are these canals where we went walking on Thursday and they are FULL of these turtles! I couldn't believe how many there were! I know I shouldn't wish my baby to grow up faster, but I can't wait for him to actually understand what he's seeing and what we were trying to show him! Little boys love turtles, right?
Oh, and I thought the flowers growing along the way were beautiful too :) But what's new!

And I know I shared this on my facebook, but yesterday I got a comment on one of my posts from last year (almost exactly a year ago). A 4th grade teacher googled "clueless 4th graders" and this blog post of mine came up! Since Blogger was down a good chunk of Thursday and Friday, all the comments that anyone got on those days were deleted, but luckily facebook saved the comment that she left: 

"I'm a 4th grade teacher who just Googled "clueless 4th graders" because I had my millionth conversation with a couple of them this morning. So, so frustrating...Thank you for this post. It gives me hope. :-)"

It just made me laugh :) If you haven't already, you should go read my post!

  4. The turtle's name was Skittles. He got away and probably lives in that CA neighborhood somewhere still!
