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 Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...
