t's been a busy week with some crazy plot twists! I think the biggest thing to happen, is the Twisters turned 15 AND A HALF, and were able to get their Oklahoma Driver's License permits! That means, we have dedicated chauffeurs for the next 6 months! Although, there is still a lot of correction and direction happening as they drive. I've already had to grab the wheel once this week...
As for the weekend, it started off Friday night with Emma and her Lady Panthers taking on Agra in an away basketball game. All of the rest of the Dream Weavers as well as Nana and Grandpa showed up to cheer them on. The boys played first (PLOT TWIST!) since Agra was having the basketball homecoming this night, and the girls needed time to change from their fancy dresses into their game uniforms. While the boys were fun to watch, for us the main event was the girls' game. And it did not disappoint. It was fast paced, emotional, and not without controversy. Regulation game time ended with a tie, so we went to OVERTIME! (PLOT TWIST!). After another few minutes of intense play, the Lady Panthers came out with the W and the place went wild!

For the trip home (about 30 miles), Lara requested to drive. Easy highway miles, plus some night time driving - good experience for her. Her 10 year old brother was beside himself with nerves, but we all survived! Nana and Grandpa were right behind us for the first half of the trip until they turned off to go home in Perkins. She did great until about 300 yards before our driveway. Out little street is notorious for cars parked on either side. She had to squeeze between 2 that were directly across from each other. After praying for Jesus to take the wheel, I took matters in to my own hands...
This was a weekend for the girls to be with their Dad, but Lara had a Pioneer wrestling commitment on Saturday. An EARLY MORNING commitment. There was an open tournament in Cushing, and she was set to attend as the student trainer. She wanted to look nice, so she set her alarm for 4:45am. I needed to get her to the high school between 5:45am and 6:00am, so my alarm was set for 5:30am. We got to the back parking lot about 5:50am. Only to be greeted by the coach, who told us the tournament had been CANCELLED! (PLOT TWIST!) Coach said he did not have Lara's email or phone number, so he had no way of telling her before that. UGH! Oh well - back home and back to bed!
Mid-morning, after getting a hold of her dad and her sister, Lara went out to Orlando. Emma got to drive from Orlando in to Stillwater, and back. Lara was the nervous one this time! While I am not sure of many details about the rest of their weekend, I do know that Lara borrowed a hoodie, some jeans, and a pair of "sturdy" shoes from Emma. Once she was dressed appropriately, Emma and Lara went to a bonfire at a friend of Emma's house. I was sent this picture, and at first glace I didn't even recognize Lara! (PLOT TWIST!)

After church, we picked Lara up, went to grab some dinner, had out family meeting, and finished up another 2020 Project weekend. It truly is going so fast! Next weekend - THANKSGIVING!
