The Bunch in Quarantine Week #6..



Maisy's typical school day. It really messed her up when D was home last week....he takes her spot!
As with most of the country right now, we haven't been doing much of anything. D did have off this past week and we had wonderful family togetherness quarantining.  The baby chicks were finally moved outside. At least during the day they have outside time, we still bring them inside at night when it gets cool and during thunderstorms.
There is a HUGE size discrepancy. This baby barely comes up the the top of the legs of the full grown hens!

They aren't too sure of their new surroundings.

We also FINALLY got the travel trailer's warranty work finished from LAST MAY! It took them a year to not only order the right parts, but get ALL the parts, and install them. I see why so many rv-ers just do it themselves. It is the most frustrating experience. Unfortunately for the dealer, we can't go anywhere right now (or for the foreseeable future)so we have plenty of time to wait for them to fix the trailer. I was really disappointed that even with a new cabinet door they STILL couldn't line up the handles. It really bothers my OCD personality that they aren't even, especially since they are right next to each other. How hard could lining them up be?
I know it's close, but it would have been so easy to have just made them line up perfectly.

We have watched A LOT of movies lately. We generally watch a movie a day. We rented EMMA last night, which according to my husband is a remake of Clueless. I liked this version better than the one Gwyneth Paltrow did a few years ago, even my youngest son and husband found it entertaining, but overall we probably found the new Little Women movie the more entertaining of the two. We also watched the new Call of the Wild. It was really good. We all liked that one. The new Doolittle movie was way better than the one Eddie Murphy did a few years ago.  While we didn't think it was the best of the movies we have seen recently, they did do a great job with the special effects. We have also watched countless documentaries and older movies on Disney+. I have to say we bought Disney+ before all the stay at home orders and it has more than paid for itself. Disney+ is by far our favorite channel.

The kids are down to only 3-5 weeks of school, depending on their grade. Hopefully, once we finish school, life will re-open and we can go out and explore! We miss being able to have new adventures and experiences. The good news is A has almost completed all her driving practice and has really enjoyed having mostly empty streets and highways to practice on. Now, we need her to practice driving around other cars. She will probably have to miss her last year of eligibility for volleyball, but she understands it is out of her control. The kids have been so good during all this at home time. T is probably having the hardest time of everyone, but even he has handled it well. We are all ready to be able to see our friends again.
L has been memorized by the babies.

T hard at work

My Dad and D complained that they wanted more material for their face masks....hope this is enough!

Some of you have already brought it to my attention, but several of my posts have had the pictures taken down. I am not sure what has happened and have brought it to Googles attention and hopefully it will be resolved soon, but just know I am already aware of it. I have no idea why it has only affected some posts and not all of them. I may just take down the ones that have issues, but thank you for bringing it to my attention.

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 Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...
