The Girl Scouts Take Over the Bunch!
Our oldest daughter has been in girl scouts since she has been old enough to participate. Every Cookieuary, fomerly known as February, our house becomes cookie central. We spend the better part of one day just picking up, delivering, and sorting over 1100 boxes of cookies. This is a lot of hard work, but also the only fundraiser her troop does for an entire year! The money the girls make fund their trips, snacks, supplies, and any other expense they have for an entire year. I have spent more time set up in front of grocery and home improvement stores than I care to mention, but it is a labor of love. The girl scouts are a great organization and wonderful way for girls to spend their extra time. However, I am very excited that my last day to sit in front of a wal-mart is this weekend. So please support your local scouts and buy a box of cookies for yourself or one for the troops (yes you can do that).
      Besides keeping busy with cookies, we are also gearing up for our next camping adventure. It looks like the beach has won out. I wanted cave explorations, but I guess that will be next time. Everyone thinks homeschooling is so stress free because it is done at home. My response is usually "how would it feel to you if your kids summer break never ended?" I love homeschooling and will probably never stop, but they soon realize that having the kids 24/7 would be more than a little stressful. Now just add trying to do all their schoolwork with them while keeping up with regular household chores and you soon realize that homeschooling could become very stressful quite easily. The secret is knowing your limit and staying below it!

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 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 T's 16th Birthday

  Three Birthdays in 10 days I cannot believe the baby of the family is 16! Actually, I can't believe they are all as old as they are. C will be 31 this year, A turns 21 tomorrow, L is 18, and little baby T is 16! It has been a wonderful ride and I was very blessed to be able to spend 24/7 with my kids while they were little. I have wonderful memories of all the times we shared. While the last year has been the hardest of our lives, it's been nice to see us all rally together and we have become even more appreciative of each other. T will just randomly stop to hug us and tell us he loves us.🥰 A is so very helpful and thoughtful and C is great about calling and keeping us updated on how they're doing way out in Bonham. I love my kids! We have decided to give pickleball a try as a family. Considering we've never even watched a game, our first lesson should be interesting!  He has gotten so good at guitar! My parents celebrate our birthdays every year by treating us to di...
