The Bunch Goes to Spring Fling

The kids just finished the egg hunt.

Getting ready for the egghunt.
Isn't she cute with no sound?
  It is a tradition at T's school to close the school the Thursday before Good Friday and have a carnival. We have participated in this the past 4 years. It is a huge event. They have face painting, balloon animals, petting zoo, rock climbing wall, inflatable obstacle course, bounce houses, train rides, and the highlight which is the raffle baskets. Each raffle ticket is only $1 and some of the baskets are worth upwards of $300. This is our second year to win a basket. We won 4 tickets to the Dallas Zoo, 4 tickets to the Ft Worth zoo, 4 monthes of Taekwondo plus a uniform, disposable grill, picnic blanket, two portable folding chairs, and a nice big cooler with wheels. The girls wanted the nintendo 360 basket or the american girl basket, but instead they got the camping basket, which works for me because we have a big camping trip coming up. It was a gorgeous day. I am sure to remember how beautiful and sunny it was for the next 7-10 days while I wait for my sun burn to heal enough for me to comfortably wear clothing. I am also stuck wearing one necklace in particular because the outline of where it was is still VERY white. I have since put a bottle of sunscreen in my purse so this won't happen again. Luckily, the kids were fine. I hope everyone goes to church on Easter for what is sure to be the best sermon of the year. The girls are in the choir and having been practicing since Christmas so I cannot wait to see their performance! Blessings to everyone.

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

The Bunch Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...
