Not Me Monday…Gabe edition
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I am so glad I did not do anything warranting a Not-Me this weekend. I did not take full advantage of Gabe’s turning 16. I did not go into full “Mom” mode and snatch as many memory making moments as possible. The boy-child did not have a camera in his face at every possible memory-type moment. I did not purposely take a lot of candid shots just to try to capture the moments as realistically as possible.
Kaleb and I did not intentionally buy him “preppy” clothes, knowing that he would wear them because he has little else to wear. Kaleb and I did not oooh and awww over the child, who cleans up really well. 
The whole family did not nearly collapse from sugar comas from my excruciatingly good ice cream cake! I did not offer extra hot fudge and whipped cream to make it even worse.
It did not feel good at all to hear Gabe call me Mom as he knocked on my bedroom door to check in after chores. Nope. Not good at all.
****Update****
I want to post some fantastic photos and video from this weekend, but I am not sure what permission I need to obtain first. Hopefully I can post them soon.

Awww, preppy clothes! Boo on that, sweaters, slacks, and polo shirts. But then again, I suppose he’d be even less receptive to collared shirts and neckties. Youth! They cannot dress themselves.
aw, that made me cry!
