The Bunch Get a Taste of Fall

Granted our taste of fall only lasted for 2 days so far, but at least we are moving towards cooler weather. It just isn't right to be in the upper 90's in October. Supposedly on Friday, there is a big cold front coming through and we will move from summer to winter temps for a few days, but I guess that is Texas weather for you.

We are getting ready to take the camper out for a few days and this will be the first time leaving the horses with our chicken sitters. They should be fine, but with animals, especially overly large determined ones, you never know what kind of trouble they can get into. The horse has been doing better...illness wise (she is still ornery). The vet prescribed an eye ointment that completely cleared up her infection and we hired a barefoot specialist to fix the hack job of the last farrier. As of yesterday, the horse was trotting around the back yard and NOT having any pain killers. I will be glad in a couple more weeks when we can exercise her again. She needs more structure. Now that she is feeling better, she is forgetting her manners and becoming pushy. She has also started biting our sweet little donkey. Yesterday, she ran over and bit the little donkey's neck for going near "her" water trough. Luckily, she didn't break the skin, but it really startled both D and I who were out there at the time petting her. I have kept an extra close eye on them today though and so far I haven't seen any issues with them. The chickens are starting to get their new feathers in and no longer are resembling something you would find in the frozen food section of your local grocer.

We went to a UNT volleyball game last week and it was a lot of fun. A really likes volleyball and for her birthday wanted to get tickets to a game. They played RICE and it was a pretty close game (except for the third set where UNT just kind of gave up). They could use more signage at UNT since a sign at the front of the street says the volleyball center is this way, but then they never tell you where and bury the building behind SEVERAL other buildings. The only way we found it was by driving around ALL the buildings (there are a lot) until we happened to stumble upon it, which by the way apparently the basketball team has their own building just for practicing (apparently they had signs for this, but not where games are actually being played for volleyball).

The new baby bull...the kids call him "Marshmallow".

We had fun.

Most of the girls were about 6ft tall....and several wore knee braces.

Everyone likes their Maisy time.

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 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 Have A Fantastic Week!

Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing. T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
