Driver's Ed

Steve started Driver's Education today.  We kidded around a lot about him FINALLY going to school right before he turns 18 years old LOL.  He is taking the class at a public school so this was a first for our family.  My kids have never been to a public school.  Of course we had to pay for him to take the class, but it will help him his insurance rates.

 

 

 

I was trying to take a picture of him at the school but he walked away....

 

 

he had a good class and really enjoyed it.  Jon and I both took driver's ed in school and we thought it would be good for him to take it too.  It also gives him an extra half credit for high school. 

 

I remember our driver's education teacher  Coach Barr....an old geezer who had been a coach but by the time he taught me, was just teaching Science classes.  He was a SMOKER, if I remember correctly he smoked in the driver's education car with us LOL!  I'm positive he smoked in his office at school....  I never cared for him at all but some of the students liked him.  I remember driving with him in the smoky driver's ed car.....UGH!  It was not the most pleasant memory.  But all in all we figured Steve would luck out a bit better than I did LOL   

 

 

We are going to a Halloween party and I bought outfits for all of us.....I'm really excited about it.  first time I've ever had an outfit as an adult.  The pictures will be coming!  Even Steve joined in on the fun.  I didn't know if he'd go along but he did:)  I bought Sarah and Selah matching ones, Shad actually found them and they are adorable!  But you'll have to wait for the pictures!

 

Some folks we know don't do Halloween or they do some type of "Fall Festival" but we like old fashion Halloween.  The kids love to go "trick or treating"  It's just fun.  Jon and I both grew up "doing" Halloween and we didn't turn into Satan worshippers so we think it'll be alright LOL

 

Actually the church I grew up going to, used to do a great haunted house.  We were one of the few buildings in Florida to have a basement.  So the basement made a great haunted house.   There were witches and ghosts....lots of fun!  Nowadays that is frowned on in evangelical circles.  Even "trick or treating" is made to be some type of satanic activity.....  we never understood that.  I used to dress up as a witch ( I know that is probably SO approiate for me LOL)  My aunt made me the nicest dress, I wore it for a couple of years and I had a really tall witch hat, I loved that outfit.   My old great aunts would dress up our front porch with ghosts and a stuffed mummy sitting in a rocking chair...it was great fun:)

 

 

October is one of the happiest months for me, I love fall, we got married in October, Steve's birthday is in October but we also lost our twins in October.  So with all things in my life, it's happiness tinged with sadness.......

 

 

Our friend Bill had one stint put in today and he is on his way to full recovery!  He should be released from the hospital tomorrow to go home:)  Thanks for praying for this dear man!!!!  We are all rejoicing:)

 

And thank you for always praying for Selah!  We appreciate it!  She is doing the same, nothing new but boy does she move her tongue around in her mouth!!!!!!
