The Bunch are Ready for Christmas

Wow, I am sorry it has been so long  since my last post. We have been very busy getting ready the holiday season. First, T has been losing teeth left and right. Seriously, he has lost 3 teeth THIS WEEK and has more loose! I told him if he loses anymore we will have to buy him baby food to eat.


T's new toothless grin!


T just moved up from his white belt to his gold belt in karate. I was very proud of him because of his entire group he was recognized in front of everyone as having the best form. I usually do not take him to karate so when I went to watch on belt test day I was very pleasantly surprised to see how much better he had become in the past few months. Way to go T!

I had been working on Indian shirts and a turkey shirt for Thanksgiving. My wonderful husband was willing to let me make him a turkey to contrast our Indians. We wore our outfits to the park for pictures and made more than one jogger smile on turkey day. We spent the day with my in laws just watching the parade and dog show while eating vast amounts of yummy food. It was great.

Could the girls look any less enthused with picture time?
This past weekend we drove down to Waxahachie to see the Bethlehem Revisited that they put on in the first two weekends in December. Essentially, they recreate the entire market place in the town of  David and you actually watch actors, in a very large nice set complete with barnyard animals, react to what was going on the day of Jesus's birth.,  You see Caesar's guards walking about, you have the tax building to pay your taxes and  numerous merchants like basket weavers, bread makers, pottery makers, and soap makers. You follow Mary and Joseph through the city and being turned away at the inn, the birth of Jesus, and the three wise men trying to make their way to the new king. It was surreal. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. Totally worth the drive!

Waiting for Jesus.....Isn't that always true?

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...

The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

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...
