@matildazq Their Cali Burrito - the one with fries in it - was pretty solid.

This sucks. 😞

The 13yo loves tacos. For a quick, cheap, yummy dinner option after his evening golf lesson on Tuesdays, Guzman y Gomez was perfect. 🌮

I know it's just a fast food chain, but we're going to miss it.

Had to do some searching, but finally located #StrangerThings / Surfer Boy Pizza at our local grocery store! 🍕

The 10yo's #baseball team is the Pirates (as in Pittsburgh) so I picked up this old school BUCCOS shirt. I wore it to his game on Saturday and got several compliments.⚾ 🏴‍☠️

Had #tacos for dinner tonight. There's just enough left over for the 13yo to have a couple for his after school snack tomorrow. I feel like that's a peak dad move.🌮

@FlashMobOfOne Hoist the colors! Pirates lost 14-13, but the 10yo acquitted himself honorably. 4-4 at the plate with 4 RBI. If we had a full roster, no way we don't come out on top.

@FlashMobOfOne We're going to need it, playing with one hand tied behind our back. We have two call ups from the league below. We know nothing about those younger kids. Hopefully they know their way around a baseball diamond.

Go Pirates! 🏴‍☠️😎⚾

Sigh. Almost a third of the 10yo's baseball team isn't showing up #today. They're playing the best team in the league.

Remember: the best ability is availability.
