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 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...
