Last Monday it got up to 74 outside, but it was wasted on a long workday, being dark by the time I left the building. Depressing, huh? (you'd say yes if you knew it was 30 the next day)
Fortunately, today we were blessed with another nice sunny day, the last for several days probably, and we took advantage. Well, somewhat. It started as a lazy Saturday. We slept in. Watched a TV movie (don't ask me which), and didn't get our butts outside until after two. But, we got our share of sun. The girls and I played outside on the apartment's recreation deck. Shelby got some skateboarding in. We all played some basketball, and Darby and I had a lengthy catch (okay, so that was slightly in preparation for softball, since practices for Spring start next week).
While we were out, we heard a lot of drumming and fireworks off in the distance. Turns out it's the Chinese New Year (and we live near the Asian District of OKC). So, of course, when dinner time rolled around the girls wanted to go to the Asian Buffet a short walk away. And that was the catch, it was so nice out, they wanted to walk. So we did. We walked to the post office to mail something, then to the restaurant, and then to the drug store before returning just in time for sunset. It was quite the nice day. Too bad it's not supposed to break out of the forties tomorrow. And there's a couple chances for ice and snow this week. I'm SO ready for Spring.
This evening some friends came by and all the kids played Guitar Hero on the Wii the rest of the night (Darby is getting pretty good). A nice end to a nice day.
