I’m leaning against the doorframe of the boys’ room when Jesse steps through the door. He stands there with his arms crossed over his chest watching both boys sleep deeply. Looking over his shoulder, he winks at me and then smiles. Clapping his hand really loud he shouts, “Rise and shine! It’s game day!” Both boys stretch then jump up. “You boys ready to do this?”

“Heck yeah!” Gabe shouts and fist bumps his father.

Jason has a huge smile on his face. “I’m so ready.” Gabe and Jason start doing their own little hand shake that ends in a quick man hug. It’s cute as hell. My heart swells seeing these two together.

“Let’s get you boys some breakfast so you have time for your stomachs to settle before you hit the field.” They have worked so hard for today, and we’re all excited to see how well they come together on the field. Win or lose, we’re celebrating after the game with a small cookout here at the house.

“I’m starved.” Jason rubs his flat stomach. Both boys are getting muscular from all the working out they’re doing, another reason Josephine says they need to eat healthy. She wanted to feed the kids turkey burgers and chicken sandwiches, but we told her she needed to let them enjoy real hamburgers this afternoon. She agreed only if she could make them herself. Bless her heart, this woman went to the store and bought a huge package of lean ground hamburger and made patties. She said there was no way she was feeding her boys frozen patties.

“How about some eggs?” I ask the boys.

“That works for me,” Jesse says. I give him a look that screams really. “What? I’m hungry too.” He laughs.

“Come on, everyone. Josephine is getting Grace ready for cheer, so I told her I would take care of the men.”

We all head down to the kitchen where I get busy heating two fry pans to make eggs. If I only use one, it will take me forever to make eight eggs. I already have bacon in the oven, and Josephine made a fruit salad. “Want me to make some toast?” Jesse asks.

“Sure. That would be helpful, thanks.”

“You’re welcome.” He turns to the boys. “You know what, this is going to take a few minutes. Why don’t you two go set up your jerseys and get your stuff all laid out.”

“Okay,” Gabe says as he and Jason hurry upstairs.

By the time they’re done, Grace is out the door with Josephine and the rest of us sit to eat. The boys clear their plates in record time despite the fact they haven’t stopped talking animatedly over today’s game. They are discussing plays and tactics. “Just remember, be patient. Let Mason open up the gap for you to run through and, dude, once it’s there run and don’t stop,” Gabe encourages him.

Jason nods. “Bro, I’m not gonna lie, I have some jitters. Were you nervous for your first game?”

I want to laugh listening to them, but we let them do their thing.
