The Bunch Celebrate Day 110 of Rain!

The each have a half a bottle of gel and hairspray to hold their buns during their dance recital.
Okay, we are not celebrating and it hasn't been 110 days, but we are really tired of it raining everyday. I do not want to be the one who starts complaining about the rain and have the drought return, but please God let us have a week to dry out a little! I cannot remember the last time the 7 day forecast did not include rain everyday! I am developing a lake around my house and I do not even live in a low lying area! Two days ago we saw ducks swimming on the sidewalk! The kids are already tired of summer because we haven't been able to do much. No parks, no zoo, no waterpark, no outside; the only thing we do is once a day take the dog on a walk/swim through the neighborhood. There are so many mosquitoes now from the rain that I feel fairly confident we will all catch malaria or some other horrible disease. The dog is almost as restless as the kids, but at least she can go in her crate if I need her to settle down, though the kids might like it if I put them in the crate!
Water

more water... I call this Lake Walters

even more water

   One of the few things we have done, is we went to watch the girls dance recital. They have been working on it all year and it was really good. I could tell all the girls had worked so hard on their routines and it really showed! I think the ridiculous amount of time I had to spend getting their buns just right, might have been worth it.

L received an award for being the most diligent in the company. 

A received a dance award for being the most supportive member in the company.

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 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 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...
