The Bunch Deals with Oral Surgery and a Trip to the Great Wolf lodge

D after we got home from oral surgery.
          It is not often that two members of your family have to have oral surgery at them same time, but AJ and her dad did. AJ needed to have a frenectomy before the orthodontist could take off her braces and D was having a tooth pulled because he is "never having another crown again". While not comfortable, both were fairly easy procedures where gas was used instead of sedation. I had to bring AJ's youngest brother and sister with me because hello I home school where else could they be if dad was here too. Lucky for me Dr. Steele has an awesome surgery room with a huge built in bench that we could all sit on and watch AJ have her surgery done. Lucky for the kids that they behaved and didn't once get off that bench! She was really funny on the gas! Dr. Steele took time going between our room and her dad's and in about an hour we were all ready to leave. AJ had no issues with her stitches and was pretty much back to normal almost immediately. Daddy however had considerably more pain. I think he was milking it so he could play angry birds on the tv all day!

       After recovering for about 5 days we headed to the Great Wolf Lodge to play before the tickets I won expired. It was a lot busier than I anticipated for a Monday at 1:00pm. Don't people have to work and go to school? We had a great time, but after a couple of hours we were very tired and hungry so we left. Last time we went was in January and while the water is warm then it was really cold leaving. This time it was almost 90 out so it just felt refreshing on the way to the car.

The youngest has only 2 more times left to go to preschool next week and then he will start being home schooled for kindergarten. I have to admit I am a little scared. The girls and I have our school routine down to an art and T tends to be a little high strung. I already know it will be a battle of wills......I hope I win. :) We start summer trips next week so check back in a couple of weeks to hear all about the first one.
It was so pretty out that we went to the park to play instead of church.

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...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...
