(and yes his mother is still praying about that one!)
When it comes time to decide what he wants to be for Halloween...
I always get the same thing every year...a fighter pilot...but you see,
his mom is way to cheap to pay for one of those pilot suits at the
TASM that he saw on a trip out there. (Tulsa Air & Space Museum)
So she looks & looks for one...but it's never a "real one" according to
Jaden. Finally this year...I was worn down...& gave in to the over
priced jumpsuit, Drove him out there...& guess what??..
it was 20% off...HA! SCORE!
But the helmet was cheesey that came with it, pretty much for a toddler.
Therefore I bought him some Top Gun sunglasses from Wal-Mart & a
Black hat with an American flag to wear instead...little did I know...God
was about to make his dreams come true on Sunday...he does that you know?
While visiting with a new couple at our church after service on
Sunday we learn that Rob is a fighter pilot...WHAT?
And he has an old helmet & gear he offered to let Jaden wear...
Seriously, I have never talked to this man before...& the one
Sunday I do...um Halloween...the day Jaden needs this information!!!
And there ya have it...Jaden is sporting a real F16 fighter pilot helmet
& gear around his waist. The suit is from TASM. Yep....
take a look at that boy because he will be looking like that in
about 10 years full time...sniff sniff...says his mom.
I'm so proud of him though for wanting to serve our country.
NO big story here...just Target.
not dress up & be with the familypoint in her life.
She sported this t-shirt that said...Budget Ninja Costume...$5.
So I guess on what I over spent on Jaden...
I saved on Lauren...Doesn't that justify it? U bet!
WE have our favorite neighborhoods to trick or treat, but we have a few stops we have to make each year...my parents are always on that list! They give us the good candy!!
And this crazy lady is something else...her kids go to school with
mine & God just placed her in my life last night as a little
reminder that I need to show his love to everyone & relax
a little. We have spent time together on occasion
thru the years with sports, FFA & school.
Our boys ended up walking around
together, she smoked, cussed...& I'm pretty sure there was
something extra in that QT cup of hers...but you know
she is so funny & enjoys life. I take life to serious
& I need to remember to HAVE MORE FUN & not
be so judgemental & step out of my comfort zone!!
(Not that I'm gonna smoke, cuss & drink People!! )
And I really didn't care if someone from church
saw us hanging with Marilyn Monroe.
Her daughter is in Lauren's small group at church
& I just pray a seed is being planted in
their lives from our family.
