The Bunch Head to Six Flags Over Texas

Kids loved the gun show and we got to take pics afterwards!

Being a homeschool family, we take full advantage of all the perks that the public schools give their students. Most companies, Six Flags included, allow homeschoolers to participate in their reading programs and earn free tickets. We made Monday our Six Flags day, though contrary to popular belief it was still NOT a free day. By the time we bought tickets for the other 2, paid for parking, and food we still spent about $250. However, it is worth it. If you go on a Monday or Tuesday, there is not very many people there. I think the longest line was about 30 minutes (which is really good since sometimes on weekends ride lines are about 1.5 hours!). We learned our lesson last time and started the kids in Looney Toons Land and worked our way up to the bigger rides. The Titan and the Oil Derrick were the only things closed all day when we were there. We arrived around 10:30 am when they opened and rode all the rides we wanted to by 5:30pm. We were hot and tired when we left and I am not sure the kids could have lasted walking around much farther. If you plan to go in the Texas heat, make sure to drink lots of water. There are also lots of cool zones through out the park to help keep you from over heating. We had a great time!

Kids mini superman ride.

Kids liked this teacup ride, but the bigger one in Spain made them sick!

You can make the plane go up and down by controlling the stick.

These were too tame, I made them do the bigger ones later.

Heading out on the mine train, a favorite.

We had the boys in one and the girls in the other.

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 Enjoy Easter

The Bunch ready to head to church to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful Easter. The kids and I dyed eggs together. T made a fairly intricate Guns N Roses logo egg while A and I just enjoyed making pretty eggs. We have discovered that using food coloring makes for way brighter eggs than using the horrible Easter egg dye kits from the store. I participated in the egg hunt with the kids this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard as we all ran around trying to beat each other. Afterwards, we had our traditional egg gravy and went to church. We enjoyed a ham dinner and watched HOP. It was a great day. T worked a long time on this egg. It was by far the most intricate egg he has ever done. He did a fantastic job! T actually fell down (you can tell by grass on his knee), but he wasn't going to lose no matter what! We had so much fun and laughter! It was great!! All smiles on our way to church. It was a little early still for A. The week has been pretty good. Better than I though

The Bunch Celebrate Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party. I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day. I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
