The kids wanted to pick out their pumpkins early this year so that we could have them out all month long!! Melisa and I took the kids to a pumpkin patch and apparently October 1st they are not set up yet. So as the lady was putting out the pumpkins we took some pictures and got the best pick of the pumpkins! Yes we choose the largest pumpkins we could find. $35.00 later I leave the pumpkin patch! Hello $35.00 for pumpkins. Safety first. But we did get some cute pictures!
So my sweet little boy turned 8 in September. I can remember his birth the best out of everyone since it was around such a traumatic time in the country. It was so weird how his birthday always brings back all those emotions of 9/11. But then it also reminds me of how lucky I am to have him as a son. Gabe has they sweetest spirit about him. He is layed back, full of adventure, smart, caring, thoughtful, giving and funny. This boy loves to tease his sisters and making people laugh.
He wanted a motorcycle for his bday and back in March I told him he had to save up money and pay towards the motorcycle. He started to mow my parents lawn for $5 a week. Even though it was rough on me... driving all the way there and back he loved loved loved doing it. He is a perfectionist and would mow the straightest lines. He did it all summer and saved up his money. Sooooooo I had to hold up to my end of the bargain.
He had his party this year at the Backyard Adventures. It was really fun for the kids to play around on the swing sets and slides. Gabe's best friend Aaron was there and that made Gabe's day!
Happy Birthday Gabe!!
