The Bunch Continue to Bear 2021

Oh my goodness! We are only to January 13, 2021, and already I am done with this year! First, around noon on January 1st, our fairly new water pump went out and caused us to go without running water for almost 2 FULL weeks! I won't even go into what all that entailed in order to get by. I promise you don't want to know. Second, my last surviving grandmother passed away this week. I had not seen her in about 20 years, but I have very fond memories of summer visits with her and my grandfather. She was a good lady. She had promised to live to 100 and was only about 6 months short. Third, the cute adorable kitten we adopted had an intestinal disease we had to treat ( not fun). Fourth, D's cousin was hospitalized with sepsis and his fever has been so high they have been unable to amputate his leg. It doesn't look good for him. Fifth, our kitten now has ring worms ( have no idea how that happened since she doesn't go outside) so the treatment is a bath for 10 minutes with an antifungal shampoo. It turns out that our cute little 10 week old baby kitten can fight like a lioness when she thinks you're trying to drown her. We all are now sporting some nice deep scratches so bath time has officially been cancelled. I am not sure what we will do, but I know we won't be bathing her four times a week! Lastly, today (exactly 24 hours after our wonderful running water was restored) it turns out the toilet has a leak, which at best is replacing a gasket and at worst replacing the toilet. Both of which aren't too big of a deal, but just one more thing that has happened. I am kind of starting to get worried about what's next. In the grand scheme of things, nothing has been too bad yet, but we're only 2 weeks into the new year and so far last year was better.

I hope everyone else is having a better new year than we have so far!

The kitten is determined Maisy will love her. She tries to curl up with her all the time. Maisy doesn't particularly care for the cuddling, but usually tolerates it.

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...
