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 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
