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'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...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...
