Spring Is in the Air...Thank God Allergies are not yet!

I guess technically spring has been in the air ALL winter. Other than a couple of days in single digits, this winter has been pleasant. In fact, it is officially the warmest winter in DFW history! So far, our allergies have been almost non existent. I really hope it stays that way.  Nothing is worse than the prolonged misery of allergy season! The weather is so nice that my garden of lettuce, onions, broccoli, and strawberries are doing fantastic. D and I have decided that the 4 zones we could never get to work must be broke. I don't really care too much though because the ones that work cover the front yard and I really do not need to use all my well water up trying to keep the backyard lush, if I am honest the front yard won't be lush either.....just less dead and bare with hopefully live trees.
     We  went to a baby shower last weekend for someone D works with.  I really felt like the old farts since we were almost the only ones with kids except for the grandma and grandpa to be, though it was amusing to listen to those who had obviously never been around babies talk about life with them.  I wish I could be a fly on the wall when they figure out how wrong they had it! Oh, newbies. They had gone all out and the house was beautifully decorated in a purple theme and they had a fantastic spread for us to eat. They even set out onesies of different sizes for us to color. It sounds like fun, but it was actually a little stressful to come up with a design to put on someone's outfit! I ended up just going for a basic spring scene and D made a pumpkin design for Halloween.

It was super cute finished.

Some people are so artistic.....not us.

My spring scene.


T is doing better in football and played quarterback this week. He completed the first pass he made! He did pretty well. I hope he gets to try quarterback some more this weekend. L is excited about her birthday coming up. She wants some friends to spend the night and to go skating. A is learning how to knit and crochet at scouts. It should be fun, They are making baby hats to donate to the crisis center.  Unfortunately, C has been under the weather again. He is complaining about stomach pains again. It took almost 4 years last time for them to figure out his gall bladder needed to be removed so he is discouraged about the possibility of repeating all the tests and doctor visits again.
Working on a cute project. Look how well vinegar works on removing rust!

This use to be white vinegar. YUCK! My horseshoes look great though. I can't wait to show off the final product!


We are down to the last 10 weeks of school. YAY! Hopefully then I can sleep without dreaming of the slope intercept formula!

A loved her Hershey Kiss the size of her palm.

D made heart shaped pancakes for V day. He is so sweet!

Why even in February in TX you can't leave chocolates in your trunk!

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 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 Have A Fantastic Week!

  Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing.  T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
