The Bunch------Prom Edition

 


We finally made it to prom day. It was a long time coming. Every ticket bought requires 4 hours of volunteer time. I had 8 hours of volunteer time required since we bought tickets for both girls. Basically, I spent my time making cocoa and hot tea in 4 oz bottles and decorating the table numbers. We found dresses, shoes, jewelry, and hairstyles and finally the real day was here. The girls , D, and I left our house around 3pm  to head off towards the Frisco Convention Center. Luckily, we were able to get right in to drop them off and, as dumb beginners luck would have it, we unknowingly parked right outside a side door that they were able to come out of and it allowed us to miss the horrible congestion in the front of the hotel. I will say waiting the last 40 minutes of prom in that spot was REALLY hard. We were so tired and time seemed to be moving extremely slow, but we were grateful that once it ended and they came out we were able to skip the congestion out front.

The prom itself was super cool. They walked through a wardrobe into the forest with trees and actual snow coming down (they had a snow machine). They had Tumnus, a centaur, the white queen, Aslan, the beavers, a market place to buy things, and more extras than I can even mention. The white queen would even walk around and scare everyone. Yes, the centaur could walk around too! They had so much fun. It made D and I wish that our proms would have been as fun as theirs. They will have wonderful memories of their prom. Dinner was grilled chicken with a cream sauce, green beans, risotto, and a fruit skewer for dessert. They were disappointed in dessert. They had been really hoping for cheesecake!

D and I had a nice night out. We took C out to dinner at the Olive Garden and then played games for a couple of hours. It was a nice way to spend time while we waited for the girls.

The girls with the Centaur.

The white queen on her throne. Both of these are REAL people.

The white queen kind of scared them.

Their Tickets and itenrary for the evening. The Dawn Treader Model instructions were in Japanese.

They each received a compass with a special note from D and I in a cloth bag as a sovenier.

The map of the event. Father Christmas handed out the compasses and special notes.

Both the girls bought some of the tea I spent so long making

Every student was give a key chain as a memento. They were solid nice key chains.

They won prizes for getting trivia questions correct.

They both bought peppermint bath salts and have already used them.

They took a picture with Aslan.

The beavers

Lucy catching the snow. Yes, real actors played most of the characters.

The girls and their friends.



Basically, this was one the most intricate prom themes ever! I wish I could have seen it for myself! It was a very magical night for a lot of kids.


Dinner. The girls said the food was very ok. They "would not go back for the food, but for the fun" was their exact words.

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...
