Pool

So Happy Birthday to me! I turned 32 on Sunday. We didn't do much... went to Joe's BBQ for my free lunch and that was about it. Played some Mario Kart and generally hung around on the couch.

Oh! We played pool yesterday for like two hours. Haven't been able to do that in about 4 years. We used to play allll the time. Every weekend for sure. But I stopped playing when I was pregnant with Connor... all that bending isn't good for a pregnant lady. Then he was such a light sleeper/ sensitive baby that we couldn't play. Then he was such a Grabby McGrabberson that we couldn't play. If a ball got close to the edge he would run off with it. But finally now... we can play.

Yay! I've actually been thinking maybe we should get rid of the pool table since we never use it. And then whattayouknow.

He did so good. We gave him a couple of jobs. Stick caddy for one. He is in charge of holding the stick while you wait your turn. He is also in charge of getting the cue ball when someone scratches. It's the kind of cue ball that has the red dots on it. He calls it the "polka-nut dot" ball. He is also in charge of putting chalk on the sticks. And he does an excellent job. He even blows off the extra dust. Adorable!

So yeah, it was really fun. And after about an hour and a half of playing he got some trucks out and made a town under the pool table. That was good too. Better even.
