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 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...
