The Bunch Are Moving!

It has been a long crazy summer. We put in long hours getting the house ready, looking for our new house, and staying gone so our house could be shown. I vividly remember now why I was never moving again. The constant stress is almost too much. Yep, we will be in our "new" house until the kids cart us down the street to the assisted living building. We are a lot less stressed now. We are on our 2nd buyer and have passed the option period so we should be good to go. Our first buyer was a new home owner and was nervous about the cracks in our walls, even though two inspectors said it was completely normal for a house this age and there were no exterior cracks. However, it still made him "nervous". Luckily, the new buyers are not new home owners and accepted their inspector's opinion and we are moving!

We have been slowly going through and packing everything. I even found my warranty info in the attic for my Pentium 4 processor! Needless to say, that was thrown out, along with a hundred cd cases and other things that technology has now deemed useless.

The kids are finishing their last week of school this week before we pack it up to move and then head out on our big trip. The days move so slowly, but the hours in them so fast. It feels like it is taking forever, but at the same time it is coming too quickly and I won't have time to get everything done. We did manage to squeeze a party in for two of the kids: T turned 8 and A is 13. I also had a birthday, but we don't need to discuss the age on that one!
We are about to be without Internet until we get back from our trip so it will be awhile until post again, but I will show pics of the new house and our fun trip next time!

We went out for Hibachi on my bday...yummy!

Kids even got Maisy in on the bday action.

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 Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all. We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...
