The Bunch Head Back to School

Even as great as this summer has been, we are still heading back to school at the beginning of August. So far, school has moved along well and the kids are flourishing under the structure of a school day. I have under taken the task of remodeling the kitchen, much to D's dismay. It is turning into quite the disruptive project and taking up a lot of time, but hopefully I will love the end results. Pintrest  has been my inspiration for many projects lately. I love Pintrest!
School starts.



 We have also been busy finding a new church home. It has been hard since the new church we are looking at has Saturday night services (which is great because since D changed his schedule, he had been unable to attend church with us). However, the kids and I have been going to our current churches services on Sundays in addition to the Saturday service and we are just plain exhausted. The new church we are looking at is about 10 times the size of our current church and it is taking some adjustment on our part to understand how they operate efficiently with that many members. They definitely make use of technology to keep members informed and our old church had a lot of older members that did not use technology so this has probably been the biggest adjustment. That and it was a little different not to know the majority of people at the service or in the classes, but I guess that will improve with time.

We have also been planning A and T's birthday party. Lots of cute Pintrest decor (will post pics afterwards)! T wants lego star wars and A wants Hollywood movie star. We throw their parties together since they are only separated by 5 days and it makes it easier on family to travel to one party. I call it Hollywood Legos. Also, the cat has made a come back (thanks to the baby food again) and lives on.  She is now 20 and still going strong. I think we have a real shot at making it to the world's oldest living cat!
Doesn't look a day over 18!

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 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 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...
