Caleb is driving

Caleb is driving! He and Scott went yesterday and he took his drivers test. Hard to image! In a very nice light, I asked him yesterday to bottle the "can I do anything for you" mentality! Yesterday he picked up my 4 school kiddos (I'm still stuck at home with my sick ones). He went back and picked up my 2 at tutoring and Mercedez from Drama. He then went to the store and bought me a 2 liter coke (right now with all my sick children caffeine is pretty big!). I hope his helpful attitude lasts until my next driver passes their test!

I was thinking last night that Caleb (as well as Stuart) pay their own insurance. Caleb was talking about his $91 a month payment, he said (and true) because of the van he is driving. It was pretty neat to have my 16 year old talking about why he would drive a "low insurance" vehicle. A big testimony to the time and responsibility their Dad places on his boys!! While he is loving his stereo system, he truly does not mind driving a million year old van! I have a friend who said "A first car should be a humbling experience". I am not sure that "humble" is the word I would use to describe Caleb, perhaps tickled to have something with 4 wheels that moves!

Caleb filled out his first job application yesterday as well:) To a pre-school! Granted my kids all have lots of experience with children, I was a little surprised that my football playing guy would apply there. Right up until he started naming the girls who worked there too! The pre-school is owned by one of our church family members who loves Caleb. I think Caleb is actually applying to for a janitorial job..lol! We will see about that:)
