The Bunch Go to the Homeschool Fair

T just wanted to eat the treats!

L was So happy her brownies placed 1st.

A's Italy Display.

L's is the one on the top left.

Irving holds a wonderful home school fair that we like to attend. It is always a lot of fun and we meet home school friendly vendors, which basically means we get a ton of coupons to go and visit places during the slow period of businesses. I love it. This year A entered the cultural display, baking, art, and photography divisions. L entered the baking, photography, and art division. A studied Italy for her display. We spent a couple of weeks studying the culture and history of Italy. We read about 10 books on Italy and I know more about Italy than I ever thought I would! A decided to make peanut butter cookies with a Hershey's kiss for her baking entry and draw a "fashion design" for her art entry. Of all the great photos that she took, the one she decided to enter was of our dirty dog sitting in her pen. I couldn't change her mind on that one. L was going to make turtle brownies for her baking entry, but they turned into brownies with fudge icing because the carmamel we bought was rancid and she didn't want nuts in them. Her art entry was a really cute flag she used water colors for and her photo she picked to enter was of a waterfall at the Dallas zoo. It looked pretty cool, she may be a future photographer. A received first place for her cookies and display. She received 2nd place for her photo and drawing. L placed 1st in everything for her division. She was beyond excited. We had a great time and I was very proud of them.

The Bunch Have A Hard Week

This was actually part of T's present. He had been begging D to do it.😂 It only stayed around a short while. After throwing such a fun and memorable birthday party for T at the lake with his basketball buddies, we have decided to part ways with the basketball organization. I cannot get past that evil man being anywhere near us or people I care about. I did make sure to give everyone a fair warning about the evil man and they can now hopefully make an informed decision about their level of involvement with him. I don't think T's too bothered by it. He didn't want to play this year anyways, but I had originally really wanted him to be around his friends. I am not sure what we will do instead, but I know he is happy to NOT have to run. He hates running. I am basically just feeling completely defeated. I trust no one and have a complete LACK of faith in police officers and lawyers. I know my husband is a good officer, but that's about it and the count is on until June

The Bunch Enjoy Easter

The Bunch ready to head to church to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful Easter. The kids and I dyed eggs together. T made a fairly intricate Guns N Roses logo egg while A and I just enjoyed making pretty eggs. We have discovered that using food coloring makes for way brighter eggs than using the horrible Easter egg dye kits from the store. I participated in the egg hunt with the kids this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard as we all ran around trying to beat each other. Afterwards, we had our traditional egg gravy and went to church. We enjoyed a ham dinner and watched HOP. It was a great day. T worked a long time on this egg. It was by far the most intricate egg he has ever done. He did a fantastic job! T actually fell down (you can tell by grass on his knee), but he wasn't going to lose no matter what! We had so much fun and laughter! It was great!! All smiles on our way to church. It was a little early still for A. The week has been pretty good. Better than I though

The Bunch Celebrate Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party. I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day. I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
