The Bunch Are Lovin' the Holidays

Yes, he does.

While we are not officially on winter break yet, the kids and I have only been doing school when Daddy is at work. This way we can enjoy his days off without feeling stressed about school. This week we went to our Scout Christmas party at the skating rink. The kids had a blast and pretty much skated the entire two hours. They slept well that night! We continued on our Christmas show a day movie quest and the kids built (and ate) their gingerbread houses. We still love our tree and after the holidays we will get serious about planning our big fall trip.  Since this is probably A's last big trip with us before she gets busy with adulthood, she gets to pick the main focal point and then we will work in other stops around that. So far she thinks she wants the main stop to be a place in CT that the tv series Gilmore Girls is based on. We will see if that sticks. T has already picked his big trip for graduation (you know in 7 years). He wants to go to Alaska or an African Safari, which I have told him does not meet the in contiguous US guidelines, though I guess Alaska could be a possibility.
Using his time wisely...pretty sure he was suppose to be doing math.

This was a sailboat.

They got a great workout and enjoyed time with their friends.

Everyone's but A's has been eaten already.

Cookie needed some me time.

But then she got back to work....busy, busy, busy

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...
