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 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...
