The Bunch Suffer From Horrible Allergies

This guy is special. Who needs to turn around?
My new mantra this past two weeks has been "I hate spring".  I have been absolutely miserable regardless of how much allergy medicine I take. But since misery loves company both D and A have decided to join me in my allergy misery.  I assume allergies are so bad this year because of our very mild winter. Hopefully, we are almost through the really bad part.

Other than going through a billion Kleenex, we went on our Spring Family Camp Out with our Scout Family.  It was on this trip we decided that regardless how much my husband loved his truck, it didn't work with our family. Our crazy dog had to ride loose because her kennel couldn't fit inside the cab. We had enough of being stepped on and DVD wires being ripped out so as soon as we could (literally the next day) we traded it in for a Ford Expedition. Unlike the Navigator, it has cloth seats so no more burning ourselves getting in the car in the summer months and Maisy can't claw it up. So far I really like it because we can keep her kennel in the back row and still have plenty of storage room. Luckily, we have a trailer so hauling things still won't be an issue. Other than trying to deal with the dog, our trip was a lot of fun. The kids love riding their bikes around with their friends and having lots of room to play.

We decided to go forward with our month long camping trip to Disney in the fall. Not sure how 26 days living in a pop up with 3 kids and an antisocial dog will work, but I guess we will figure it out. We are really excited, but also a little nervous. The longest we have been gone is about 2 weeks.

Our cat made it to her 22nd birthday, but unfortunately we are thinking about putting her down on Monday. She has suffered several strokes this weekend and she sounds like she is in immense pain. It is hard to think about her not being here since I have had her more than half my life and she has even lived here longer than my oldest child, but I can't stand to think of her suffering. The house will feel weird for awhile.


I love being able to get my own veggies fron the garden!

We had a blast camping with our Scout Family.

We had to scrape our cute camping stickers off to trade it in.

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...
