The Bunch Celebrate Easter

We had a wonderful Easter. No one had volunteered to have anything at their house so I decided we could do Easter dinner at our house. Normally, we have lunch, but this means that do not have time to go to church on Easter Sunday. This year we had the family celebration at our house and I made it dinner instead of lunch so everyone could come after church. It was great! We had a ham and a brisket and lots of yummy sides. We always do our egg hunt first thing on Easter morning, but once the grandparents and extended family get here we have another hunt with everyone. The weather was fantastic and the kids could run around on the property. We missed the eldest, but he had come over the day before to watch L's soccer game. It is kind of far for 2 trips.

Yep. It is early.

The Clan.

First time in 23 years that the cat is not in the Easter basket pic. :(

We are still getting use to having so much space. It is great, but requires a lot of up keep. Mowing, even though we use a riding mower, takes up over half the day. Using the weedeater is such an overwhelming chore we have only done it twice in the last 6 months! We still have only weeds on the entire 2 acres, but we keep putting weed kill down around the house. We are finally getting some bare spots so hopefully we can sow some seeds, if the birds don't eat them all. Unfortunately, I ran into the corner of the pool table so hard that I had to get a CT scan done on my leg because of all the swelling. Long story severely shortened, I have to "rest" it for at least a month. This means D is pretty much on his own on the yard work and I have an annoying injury that becomes grotesquely swollen and painful if I even attempt to do anything. As many of you know, I do NOT like to sit still so this injury will probably take a couple of months to heal. I am listening about no running, leg weights, or anything that is very strenuous on the quad muscles. Wish me luck!

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...
