New Art & Weekend Notes

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Well hopefully. I know I haven't shared much lately, but not a whole lot to say. Life has settled down some, since the funeral service and everything. Now we are just preparing for Eli's Birthday and then Thanksgiving. Not sure what to really get him gift wise. Ideas for a 10 year old? I thought I would stop by and share an art design since I haven't in a little while. This time, a fun and colorful monkey. What do you all think of the monkey? Name ideas?

Punky the monkey? It’s an adorable little guy. Little boys are so tricky to buy for. Would he prefer just a gift card to some place?

That's a cute name! Glad you like it. I was thinking of just giving him some money for the arcade, but I think he might be sad to not have a gift to open

@MommyOfEli2013 That’s a good point.

@AmbiePam He really wants a Nintendo Switch, but can't really afford that since that one app hasn't really paid me (owes me over $250)

It's been a while since I shopped for a ten-year-old. I hope he has a wonderful birthday. Your monkey is cute.

@MommyOfEli2013 I think he'll like the arcade since he likes gaming.

That's okay, just really at a loss....since we can't afford what he truly wants. May get him something small and maybe $20 for the arcade. Glad you think the monkey is cute

Funky Monkey. He is cute. No ideas for a present. Been 30 years since I had to buy for a 10 year old boy

Great monkey. Morris the monkey. Did you ask Eli what he wanted? If I remember correctly, I think you said what he wanted cost too much. I don't know what 10-year-olds like these days.

Glad you like the monkey. That's a different name! Yes he wants a Nintendo Switch, or a computer. Both are way too much

@MommyOfEli2013 Yes, that's a lot to ask for. I hope you can think of something else.

@LindaOHio no idea because nothing else is going to make him happy.

Aww that monkey is adorable. We already know the things Eli likes,so gift wise I'd say best to use that as a reference point, though asking here for ideas can't hurt either, so good that you did.

Glad you like the monkey. Yeah I know we do, but we also know the only thing that will really make him happy but it is expensive.

My grandson was ten years old last summer. I gave him a wallet with four five dollar bills in it. It was his favorite present. He put his billfold in his pocket with a big smile on his face. Your Funky Monkey is a cutie.
