The Bunch Have Both A Fun Week And A Super Busy Week

  The fact that BOTH T and Axl can fit in this bed should tell you how gigantic it is! A must have been in a family fun mood this Christmas because she got each of us new board games to play and for 2 of them you have to have 4 players. We spent the first part of the week relaxing and enjoying our game time. The crazy cold snap happened to be on our normal pickleball day so we decided to do game day instead. We played the game that T got first. It's called Don't Say Ummm. This is like a cross between charades and 20 questions. Basically, your teammate draws 2 cards, one is an adjective and one is a noun. You have to get your partner to say both together before you can get a point, but if you say Ummm or anyother filler words the other team gets a point.  There are other rules but that's the jist. This was our least favorite game. We all are more independent competitive players and relying on partners tended to cause tensions about partners not getting descriptions correct. ...

The Bunch Have Fantastic Christmas

Our local park has a great light display! We celebrated Christmas with my in laws the Sunday before Christmas. This is the first year in I don't know how long that we celebrated Christmas BEFORE January! It was great! They drove all the way up to our house and brought some really great fajita meat and I bought some tamales and we had a traditional Southern Mexican Christmas feast. Unfortunately, they ended up feeling ill the next day. I think everyone has pretty much caught the crazy super bug going around. The boys played in church this week and right after the service D let me know he thought I was right and they are sick. I had been trying to tell them for the past two days, but they refused to admit it. He must feel really bad to admit it. Everyone at church is sick too so it's not like someone could have filled in for them.  We had a wonderful day! We really enjoyed our time together. My in laws got us a pressure washer. This was about 5 seconds to clean this spot. I can...

The Bunch Are Enjoying The Holidays

My family ❤️,  Cracker Barrel is doing $5 take home meals with an entree. It was was a great deal for next day's lunch! First off, A and I are feeling a lot better. However, this illness seems to last FOREVER. We still have a lot of sinus issues and an occasional cough. We also get winded pretty easily, but we're slowly slipping back into our normal routines. We went to play pickleball with T one afternoon and we played both of us against him to keep our running down. However, it happened to be crazy windy that day so we spent a lot of time chasing the ball anyways. 😂  Thanks to the news we discovered a place by us that has about 4 acres of crazy Christmas lights! We went to go check it out and it was awesome! We also went to our traditional Cracker Barrel and drive thru lights in Sherman with C and H. I think it's fun we just kind of started this tradition. I love being able to have our own thing for the holidays so we all feel connected even though they aren't nearby...

The Bunch Go See A Christmas Story Live

 Ever since A Christmas Story Musical came out on TV several years ago, we always watch it every Christmas. This year Bass Hall was performing it for a weekend and A bought us all tickets to go and see it! Unfortunately, she was still crazy sick and really didn't get to thoroughly enjoy it, but the rest of us had a fabulous time! We were all laughing and just really enjoying our day. We also wandered around Sundance square and took pictures with all the Christmas decor. I will say their large Christmas tree looked pretty sad. It was very sparse and looked liked it died a couple of months ago. However, the ornaments and lights were pretty. Seeing all the festive decor really puts you in the Christmas spirit! I love Christmas!! Someone was letting their kids play in the water! It was pretty cold!! The tree didn't look too bad from a far. The seats in the balcony were nice. Honestly, I think I like sitting in the balcony better than on the floor. You can see more and the restroom ...

The Bunch Deal With A Being Sick

  T is such a show off!😂❤️ This week took an unexpected turn. After such a wonderful Thanksgiving week, we were surprised on Tuesday when A started complaining about feeling tired and generally not good. We had had plans to go see the new Wicked movie, which she was ecstatic about and had been greatly looking forward to. I knew it was serious when I said I would postpone the movie until next week and she didn't put up a fight. By that afternoon she had a fever, aches, chills, sweats, and a cough. She basically spent 3 days being completely miserable. Her fever finally broke on Thursday so Friday she went to work with her bottle of DayQuil and some ibuprofen. She made it through the day (barely according to her) and came home and fell asleep by about 7 pm.  She slept until 8 this morning! She is doing a lot better. The fever is gone, the coughing is gone, and she managed to get up a few times to get some stuff done. We have big plans for tomorrow so I have just been trying to ...
