Gabe went to a friend's birthday party yesterday at a nickel arcade. When it was time to go he still had nickels to burn, so he and I headed over to the skeeball lanes and had a blast! I luuurrve skeeball. It's the reason I never really minded going to Chuck E. Cheese's and I certainly didn't mind sticking around yesterday. There's something so dang satisfying about landing the ball in that ever elusive 100 hole. We alternated turns and watched the tickets stream out of the machine. I loved watching Gabe decide between all the little prizes, silly as they were, he was thrilled and proud to pick them out. We ended up with another army guy and a punching balloon. Not bad! As much as my kids can make me feel old, it's nice to know it can go the other way, too.
The other simple pleasure was watching the Super Bowl with the fam after enjoying a scrumptious roast dinner (yeah, another one!). It was a very exciting game and insanely close. I loved it. Go Giants! And thanks to my hun for teaching me about football to begin with! The most enjoyable part of the evening was probably half time, though - and not just because Tom Petty rocks, but because we had our own half time dancers right here and they stole the show. As usual.
