The Bunch Recover from Last Week

Last week was an extremely active week for us ( me in particular). I try to live life like I use to, but my body no longer cooperates. I had a spoon deficit last week and paid for it this week (you fellow chronic illness followers will understand that statement, if you don't understand the spoons then I envy you). Basically, this week was a recovery week.  I generally don't talk about my fibromyalgia, but unfortunately it is still here making its ever annoying presence known. Constantly reminding me that I am not the old me and I have to say I really hate it. It is like this super annoying friend that won't ever leave my side. I am learning to live with it, but sometimes it doesn't listen to me and even though I have been "good", it still gives me the finger and makes me feel about 85. So because I maxed out last week, this week we really did not go anywhere or do anything. I was just too tired. The kids like my "lazy days" and have no problem laying around and watching TV with me. They are also super sweet and pick up the slack when I just can't. They are constantly helping me with my chores by either doing dishes, folding laundry, or making a meal. I really don't know what I would do without them. I make it up to them on my good days, but I hope they understand how much I mean it when I say they are really appreciated.
D and Maisy were tired too. It made me feel better that I wasn't the only one.
Maisy lost something under the couch that she really wanted, but L couldn't find anything.

This week we put back anything from the fun jar that required us to go somewhere. The only place we did go that we drew was to the donut store. The kids would have let me not go, but they had been so great all week that I pulled it together enough to take them, plus other than the drive into town , it didn't require much effort. Our little donut shop is really neat. It has all sorts of elaborate donuts plus the regular ones. Since our kids usually only are allowed donuts on their birthday, the extra special decorations make our birthday trips extra special. We also drew a make temporary tattoos and A used her tattoo pens to draw on us. It was a fun low key afternoon. We watched Scoob too.  I knew the kids would love it, but I found it had several funny parts for me as well. The girls and I also finished the Love Comes Softly Series for the second time. I told you we didn't do much, but watch TV this week. Hopefully, this week we will be able to get out and enjoy the cooler less humid weather. I have to say this is one of the best Texas Summers we have had in a long time. Don't get me wrong, it's hot, but not bad Texas hot. If the pandemic wasn't an issue, we would be out enjoying the milder summer by visiting water parks and the lake frequently.
The icing is flavored too. 
L loves to try some of their different creations. Everything is edible.

T wanted a bee, but A was out of yellow and black ink.

L picked a rose and a butterfly.

I just picked a butterfly.

Have a great week everyone!

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...
