The Bunch Do Mother's Day

Great day!

I love my flowers!
I want to wish ALL the mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day. I, personally, do not really agree with the holiday, but we celebrate it anyway on a very low level for the kids. It is not that I do not think we shouldn't recognize all that mothers do, it's just I think we should do nice things periodically for those who are important to us throughout the year. It is for this same reason that D and I generally do not celebrate our anniversary. We might do dinner, but that is it and that doesn't even happen every year. I in no way feel slighted or upset at this arrangement at all. In fact, I love it. It takes the stress out of the "holiday" and we just get to enjoy the day together, which in our case makes it just like every other day together. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband, who does have the uncanny ability to grate on my last nerve, but I cannot imagine that there is anyone more loving, devoted, and perfect for me than him. My kids are great too. Sure, we have our bad days, but overall most of our days are good ones. My kids and husband  do wonderful little things for me all the time, which is why I feel no need to celebrate Mother's day or an anniversary. I get tons of them all year long instead of on just one day. I have more pictures than I could count that have been custom made just for me. I love when the kids bring me their art work and say, "Mommy, look what I made for you". My husband periodically surprises me with my favorite coffee. It is little things like that which make me so grateful God has blessed me with the family I have.  He knows best! So, to all you mothers, and non mothers alike, have a great day. God Bless!

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 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...

The Bunch Have A Fantastic Week!

  Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing.  T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
