"Sun is shining in the sky; there ain't a cloud in sight.... and don't you know, it's a beautiful new day! Running down the avenue, see how the sun shines brightly, in the city on the streets... Mr. Blue Sky is living here today! Hey there, Mr. Blue! We're so pleased to be with you- look around! See what you do, everybody smiles at you. Sun is shining in the sky; there ain't a cloud in sight..."
-Mr. Blue Sky, ELO-
The weather this past weekend has truly been full of Mr. Blue Sky (The 80s band ELO is strange, not going to lie and most of their songs I just cannot get into, minus "DONT BRING ME DOWN", but I happen to think this one is catchy and peppy and perfect for the sunny day we had today). Dylan and I decided to get out and enjoy the balmy 70 something degree weather we are having down here in February. Yes, I know; some of you are jealous that we are in short sleeves and possibly sandals and it is still February, a Winter month. Well, San Anton does not really have a Winter, per say; most of the time, this is great but for those of us who do know what snow is, we miss it every once in a while. :)
Saturday saw Dylan out at Enchanted Rock, continuing his education in the field of Rock Climbing. I ran 6 miles outside that day and then walked 5 with Goobz the same day. Sunday saw Dylan and I heading to one of our favorite parks in the area, Government Canyon. We were both a little more wiped than we originally thought from out activities on Saturday, so we only did a mere 10 miles. No matter though! We still got a great workout and had a grand time being outside!
Today was President's Day and Bummer! Both of us had to work. And of course the weather just had to be gorgeous... again! I caught a lucky break and was let out of work early, managing to get home around 3 instead of my usual 5. Dang Skippy!! :) Changed into shorts and flip flops and took Goobz to the park to play for a while. He chased the ball (I remembered to bring one this time), ran around like a crazy dog and went for a long walk. By the time we got home, he was hot and I was hoping, tired.
Hahaha! Tired... wishful thinking on my part. After an hour of running my little guy all over the place, he just wanted a drink and then continued to play. He hides his ball in his comforter and spends copious amounts of time and energy trying to find it. The pictures make it look tame- it is not! He growls, moans, groans, pants, drags the comforter all over the place. He even barks when he cannot find it- barks at the comforter and jumps all over it. The pictures do not do justice to the craziness, let me tell ya! Once he finds the ball, Goobz expects you to throw the ball for him over and over, until he decides to bury it again. Repeat process multiple times. We did this for another hour... at least. Then the dinner bell rang (I said the words "food" and "hungry" which he knows) and that stopped playtime. Whew, Mommy was worn out! Turns out, so was Goobz. He sat on the cool tile floor and just panted for a good while with a slap-happy smile on his face. :)
Happy President's Day!
