The Bunch Celebrate Halloween and Enjoy the Perfect Weather

 


We had a fun low-key Halloween 🎃. D had to work so it was just the kids and I and I mean all the kids. C came over and hung out with us pretty much all day. We watched all kinds of kid friendly Halloween themed shows, played wii u games, and enjoyed the nice weather outside. T was excited to have someone want to play basketball with him. The girls never play with him and even though the day before he had played basketball for 2 hours with a friend, he was still happy to play more with C. We made bbq chicken pizza, pepperoni 🍕 pizza, and fruit pizza. Fruit pizza is a family favorite. The crust of the pizza is a sugar cookie, which I make from a wonderful recipe that uses cream cheese in the batter. You then make a cream cheese and powder sugar "sauce" and top with fresh berries, bananas, and whatever other fruit you enjoy. It is really yummy. 

Kids had fun playing the wii u party game. They laughed most of the time.

I am not sure why C has 2 controllers.

Maisy likes to be part of everything that is going on.

They only dressed up long enough for this picture, but we had Ruby Roundhouse from Jumanji, Ann Wheeler from the Greatest Showman, and of course our own Elvis.

From wanting to be a pediatric nurse to now wanting to teach aerial arts.

Our Ruby Roundhouse plans to become a vet tech.

Elvis still plans to be Elvis.


This weekend we will celebrate C's 27th birthday and A takes her FINAL driving test to get her official I can drive by myself license. I am so excited. I think once she is done with it she will be happy, but she is not particularly excited about being made to drive and she fully intends to never parallel park again after the test! 

In very sad news, L's most beloved chicken, the new baby silkie that she fought to make an indoor chicken, died. It was very unexpected and she was beyond crushed. She would go outside multiple times a day to play with that chicken. I wish it could have been any other chicken but that one. We aren't sure what happened. I think the other ones may have chased her away from the food and she just couldn't eat enough, but she had been eating and regularly laying eggs so we don't really know. Poor L. 

The horse and donkey are doing well on their diet. I am quite pleased with how proportional they are becoming. T hopped on Iris bareback for a minute while I led her around yesterday. Iris did great, but T was so nervous about her misbehaving that he literally wanted off after a minute. I think today I will have her walk around with a saddle on. That should make her mad. She hates the saddle. 

Gwenie is starting to get her teddy bear winter coat. She is so cute!

Iris is a camera hog.

We take her on frequent walks. Sometimes she is good, other times she tries to drag us around the yard. It is a work in progress.

She is looking very lean and her foot problems are almost non-existent now.

She really wanted the camera.

I just want to pinch her cheeks and carry her around.  She is so cute and loveable.

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...
