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 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...
