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 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 Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

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...
