Stupid Little Poem I Wrote This Summer

I wrote this with the kids this summer to try and fully explain our camper woes.  We were all tired of working on the camper! We are so glad it is over! D and I always feel like we are forgetting to do something now because EVERY spare minute we have is no longer filled up with working on the camper.


Ode to My Camper:

In the driveway, you set
Looking a little sad
The girls and I had a thought
And made a little bet
We looked through the HGTV magazines we had
And found several things that we bought.

We decided a little paint and cloth
Could really cheer you up.
Excitedly we worked together 
Planning out your salvation from demise.
We  had barely started on our camper
Before realizing that this would take forever
And shouted out with our woeful cries.

No longer would this project just be for fun
D had voiced concern over several things he found.
He said there was no point in going forward
If the structural issues were not done.
"The structural base must be sound."
He made a list of goals to work toward

And our fun camper renovation
Took a drastic turn
Now our days were spent under the sun toiling 
Many days we were out so long that we would burn
The temperature felt near boiling.
And it was NO longer a fun project.

Many times we would cry 
And really wanted to give it a rest
And even though we would try
Things moved too slowly at best

Here we are now
Months have moved slowly by
We have completed the camper
And tears of joy we have cried

Time to take her out
And have lots of fun
It has been rainy
With very little sun
But Branson
Here we come

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 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 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...
