The Bunch Head to the Fair

Kids play with a sculpture exhibit while at the State Fair of TX.

It is that time of year again. I smell the grease in the air and the asphalt. It is State Fair time. I get excited once I hear on the news about what yummy stuff is being fried this year (on that note NEVER try the fried bubble gum). Those of you that know me well are probably wondering what I am talking about since you know I almost never eat anything fried, mostly because of gall bladder issues, but when our crew of 5 (6 if the oldest one joins us) heads out we pick out 3 fried foods to try and literally only get one bite each so it's not too bad. While our July was super awesome this year, the same cannot be said for October. It was 95 on the day we went to the fair with about 60% humidity. WE WERE MISERABLE! We only stayed for about 4 hours because of the heat, but that still gave us time to watch 2 different pet trick shows and sampled the fried Philly cheese steak and the fried breakfast for dinner. The latter which was super yummy and we all loved!

The kids have decided they do not like being "well-rounded" and no longer want to be kept busy with all the extra classes they are taking. In fact, their favorite days are the ones where we literally go no where. I for one am chomping at the bit for another camping trip. We have not been on one in almost 5 months, which is a record for us, and I really want to go somewhere. We are saving up for a huge trip next summer, but there will be a couple of small trips before that because there is NO WAY I am staying put for over a year (and D....day trips are not the same)!
Husband was bored so made up our son to look 30.

A made me a pumpkin temporary tattoo....too bad I sweat it off at the gym.

A starting her Elsa inspired set up....I will post a pic when she is done.  It's really cute!

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...
