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 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...
