A list of good things

The past few weeks have been pretty crappy. And when I say crappy, realize that I'm sugar-coating it with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

But this weekend some good things happened and so I will document them in list form:

* The girls and I went to Cups, a cupcake place in La Jolla and we loved it because it was pink and they were playing Modest Mouse.

* Then we walked around downtown La Jolla and when we were in front of the Armani Exchange store, Ella insisted we go in to see "the pretty dresses."

* We got hamburgers at Smashburger and had more fun smashing our burgers than actually eating them.

* Finally, I convinced the girls that dresses at American Apparel were much better than the ones at Armani Exchange and so they picked purple ballerina ones.

* The family created letter day. Saturday was brought to you by the letter, "M" (of course).

* Stop 1: The Mission for breakfast
* Stop 2: Children's Museum where we made masks!
* Stop 3: Mamma Mia's pizza for dinner; Mariposa ice cream for dessert
* Stop 4: Music at the Adams Avenue Roots Fest (where we saw John Doe and Marina and Ella threw the skirts of their ballerina dresses over their faces, exposing their underwear (or training pants) for all to see, and then went on to shake their "bums").
* Stop 6: Med, goodnight.
