We haven't gone anywhere since February. My kids have been so sad about missing out on pumpkin picking, and then last night, I received THIS message from a neighbor, and now I can't stop crying...
Email from neighbor: Hi Christi! If you let me know when you would like to come to our home to pick pumpkins, I can make sure no one else is here at the same time & I'll leave Lysol wipes & gloves for you on a table, as well as  fully disinfect some of the 80 pumpkins on my lawn.
We won’t come out when you are here picking pumpkins, and I’ll keep Nahla inside. Just call me and let me know 30 min prior to your arrival so I can get everything ready for you. Have a great night! Lisa

SHE CONVERTED HER YARD INTO A PUMPKIN PATCH FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS...AND offered to take all these precautions for us??
I should share this is made even more special b/c our last neighbhorhood excluded us from block parties & neighborhood functions b/c "kids w/ special needs made the families uncomfortable." They'd have picnics & buy group tix for ball games. My family was the only one not invited
I often say, my previous neighbors wouldn't have spit on me if I was on fire...and to have someone in my new neighborhood who'd undertake ALL of this to include my son??
