Woke up to coffee, plus a smiling Jack proudly bringing me toast and a hard boiled egg he had made (well, the toast, anyway). Kate was very sad she had slept in, but I said I really needed orange juice. So she was happy.
Kids brought me cards they had made. In Jacks's, he and I wore our Port Chester Pirates gear, him his uniform and glove, me my coaches' shirt. In Kate's, we were smiling, and birds and butterflies flew about our heads. Their cards said really sweet things, too.
We went to the Mets game, and a Met led off the first with a long home run. We ate burgers and hotdogs, then finished with ice cream for all. Jack kept score for the first time. The kids posed cheerily for pictures. After the game they ran the bases. In most of the pictures, one of them gave the other rabbit ears, a goofy tradition that some days I would expect them to be too tired or cranky to do. (Late night last night.) And they were tired, but not cranky. Sweet and funny all day.
Way too long drive home, pizza, a catch with Jack in the backyard, kiss goodnight for Kate. Finally bed and not a peep from either kid. Great day.
