more laid back and not really into big ordeals...Since his bio MOM

is baking him a 5 layer cake, I am baking a (store bought) pumpkin pie, his favorite...Putting the candles on it and the birthday writting to go with it.....

His mother has custody and has just moved into a 2 bedroom apartment....he has to share with his little sister...She already has her side of the room decorated all up....in looking at his side and what he has, I didn't see anything he could call his own... His favorite colors are black and red...Since she will be getting him a new bed when she can, I went and got him a comforter (black on one side red on the other) new sheets and pillow cases, a clock for his wall, and a really nice plush reed blanket......I also purchased a photo frame that is 4" x 12" black with white border inside...as soon as everyone wakes up and leaves for work and school (and I can get my sewing room to myself) I am going to do his name in the fire alpha in red.....

I know this isn't exactly what a 14 year old boy wants really, but I sure hope he sees why I got these instead of getting things that wouldn't last or have real value....

ok realisticly...do you think this is going to be a good gift? he hasn't got anything to really call his own...the blankets he has over there are those little 5x6 throws and he has to share some of them with his sister...I just thought that he could have his own style for himself.....Am I crazy or did I do right????

Well in a few hours it will be to late to change...
