The Bunch Start the New Year

What a roller coaster of weather we have had! For a couple of days we will have highs in the 80's and then followed by a couple of days where it is 6 with wind chills below zero. Then back to the 80's, which is quickly followed by snow. My allergies are going crazy! We have started back to school, though if I am honest no one really wants to do it, including myself! The kids just started their gymnastics class and we are trying to get back to our pre-move schedule. It has been harder than I thought. I can't decide if time stands still in the country or moves at the speed of light. It is really weird. I know that doing things pretty much revolves around when the sun is up and everyone has their own special way of telling time. It isn't 2:00pm, it is "sometime this afternoon". Also, "down the road a piece" can mean anywhere from 10-30 miles. It is strange to get use to, but I love our house and how quiet everything is.  T starts flag football in a couple of weeks and he is really looking forward to that. A just refinished her first wood piece; a small dresser. She worked really hard and it looks great. L is excited to be back in gymnastics. D is adjusting to his increase in commute time from 15 minutes to 45 and I am forever battling the large amounts of mud that seem to work their way in from outside CONSTANTLY! I pray everyone had a safe New Year's and is doing well.
The clouds always look fake to me.

First snow fall at the new house.

The wind was about 40mph and sooooo cold!

A's final product!

It took her about a week to sand, stain, and seal it. She worked hard.

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...
