September

 Me and my kids plus Laurie, Grayson, and their kids all went to see the new Beetlejuice movie. I didn't specify we were seeing the new one so they all thought we were seeing the original. Oops. Oh well we all really enjoyed it. I keep thinking of some parts and cracking up, which is always fun.

I got an email from Maggie's school that they are taking the PSAT soon. I was surprised but I guess it's that time. So, I had Maggie take an SAT practice test and from that I created a study plan. Now, we're doing 30 minutes a day of SAT practice. Well, not me, I just designed the study plan. 

The other morning, I was getting dressed and Ruby came in my room. She said, oh I want to wear overalls today. I said, ok great go get changed. And she said, no I want to wear one of your overalls. I told her I don't have any overalls and she said, yeah that thing. She meant bra. What a funny little weirdo.

Maggie made a movie!!! She told me she had the assignment from A/V class. Basically a movie in 5 shots with music and credits. She came out of her room and said she had thought of something and she needed Ruby. Ruby was so excited. At first, I was just in the living room and I could hear Maggie kindly directing Ruby, no, don't look at the camera; no, don't smile; nope, you can't laugh. Unfortunately, Ruby couldn't stop the laughing part. We had so much fun. I got to film one shot because Maggie was in it. It's like 30 seconds but it's so cute and funny.

I was trying to get Maggie's parking sticker and the school wouldn't accept it. She told me Maggie needed a driver's license and I said that is her license and she said no, that's a learner's permit. Which is how I found out THERE IS ANOTHER STEP in this process!!!

We were able to get a last minute appointment the day after she passed her final driving test. It was bananas. It ended up taking forever but we finally got it. Then Maggie wrecked my car, so that sucked.
