The Bunch Get Ready to Camp and C Gets Yet Another Ear Infection

D was able to fix the pop up enough to, hopefully, be able to use it for a few more years.  Some of the wood is starting to show signs of age/rot, but hopefully after our weekend of updates we have stopped further progression or at least greatly slowed it. We do have our Scout Family camping trip coming up and what better timing could it be than to get a double ear infection. Yep, 18 squealing girls, a fever, and ear pain that feels like someone stabbing my ear drum with a knife, what could be better? I have ALWAYS been prone to ear infections, which is why now I have no idea I have one until it is just a "horrible, horrible infection" (doctors words not mine). The nerves have been damaged from all the infections so until it reaches a horrible throbbing raging infection, I have no idea. Normal kids (don't see a lot of adults in the waiting room) know way before I do that they are in pain. My first clue I have one is fever sets in. Since moving to the country, they have become more prevalent and most likely tubes will be on the way soon. I have already had them twice so really what's once more. However, since I try to see the positive in it, I have been enjoying You Tube.

When we were looking at buying an rv I found a couple that traveled around and blogged about their Full Time rving experience, while I currently feel like death, I decided to see what they were up to. Low and behold, after 6 years of full timing it, they decided to sail around the world in a sailboat, with no knowledge of sailing and with their two cats. If you have never seen/heard of Gone with the Wynns look them up. They are living a traveler's dream. I never thought I would want sail, but after watching all their fantastic adventures I might change my mind. D just shakes his head, but he knows if I really want to, it will happen. If I can fix that inner ear issue, it might just happen....though probably just for a few months. I mean who wants to be on water ALL the time and the kids would need to be gone because there would be no escaping their whining in close quarters surrounded by the ocean!

I also enjoyed watching another travel blog called Keep Your Daydream. They are traveling with their 3 kids. I wanted it noted that none of these people are in a pop up. I feel like we should get extra credit for rving for a month in the pop up. Now granted we pretty much only roughed it at the KOA, but still 5 people and a medium sized super crazy dog, it was a challenge. Thank God for free wifi and now we have a tv/dvd player in the camper so we will really be set for whenever we dare to do a month on the east coast.

Sorry no pics this time. Apparently when I am sick I quit taking pictures. Nothing interesting has been happening anyways! I guess I could take a picture of me lying miserably under my blanket watching You Tube, but that's about as interesting as it has been this week.

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...
