My schedule is so open today it doesn’t even appear on the weekly view of my Google Calendar. After some substantial adulting online and in person, Manmeat makes other plans and I take the kids. We head out to our favorite establishment for a treat in celebration of getting through this first week of school. Also Gavin’s great performance in baseball last night.

Boy is too hangry -and perhaps Tweenie- to engage in much human interaction before the meal. (Although the second a celery stick with tangy mustard hits his brain he springs to life.)

Meanwhile Girl -drunk with power over her newly inherited watch phone- peppers me with digital messages from across the table:

After eating I figure they’ll be more up for human interaction.

While there are a few scant disadvantages to having Readers as children. But none that I would trade for.

CJ zips around the block on her scooter a few times:

Gavin apparently knows how to both tip well on the tab AND fake my signature:

And that’s a wrap of taking my kids out so I can stare at them by myself in celebration of everything they are.

Aaaand…. we’re off.

*sigh*
