His present. He's been bmx riding for a couple years now, and has really been wanting a good bike. Since he's been working with his dad since the end of summer, he wanted to take his earnings and buy one and had been haunting the local bike store, looking over all the options. Earlier in the day Leon went and paid for it and took a happy birthday sign down and put it on the one he was wishing for. He wanted his cousins/friend to come over to spend the afternoon with him and go to the bmx track to ride so on the way out to the track with his old bike they detoured by the store and went to "show" the boys the bike options.
A new bike owner deserves a good helmet too, the one he's been wearing was not a heavy duty one, so now he's all fixed up to do some winning first thing next season!
I gave him the option..."Do you want mom to decorate the cake, or do you want to"? Answer...."If it's bmx, then I want to". That's a good solution, then they can't complain about mom's ideas!
Happy Birthday Morgen!! My last boy just turned a teenager!
What fun, you are an early bird and I get to leave the first comment. I'm glad Morgen enjoyed his birthday, those boys always seem to enjoy being together. I just hope they'll be sensible part of the time.

ReplyDeleteIn response to your comment. Since I have ment you via the blogging world, and I don't know your whole story, but have figured out bit and pieces, you might like to know, you inspire me. My mantra as of lately is, "If Maxine can do it...surly I can!" You are amazing how you keep it all running!
