The Bunch Had a Soggy Week

 *** OOPS I FORGOT TO CONFIRM THE POST FOR LAST WEEK. SORRY! NEW POST IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. This was last weeks****

You can't really complain about rain in August in Texas. It usually doesn't happen and August is usually very hot and dry. However, we had an unusual event last week. There was rain for over half of the week! The first day it just kind of dribbled all day. We had about half an inch of a nice slow rain. Unfortunately, the next two days the bottom dropped out and we had about 5 more inches total! It is also in the forecast to rain again this afternoon. Everything is a muddy mess. We have standing water in the yard and I won't even mention what the horses look like! I'll just say I have quite a project with them once things dry out a little. The humidity from all this rain is almost unbearable. It really slaps you in the face when you go outside. However, it should only last about a week and then another cold front comes through; this time with no rain. It will still be 90, but 90 for a high in August in Texas, we'll enjoy it! 

Birthday week planning has begun. Once again thanks to Covid, we are not doing any big parties. We are just going to celebrate at home and the kids will have a friend come over and spend the night. For once the kids might not get donuts for their birthday! A wants to have a blueberry oatmeal dish I make and T wants biscuits and gravy with eggs. Now, they may change their minds, but I can't believe they FINALLY aren't asking to get their birthday donuts! I, of course, NEVER want donuts. I am leaning towards breakfast tacos from Rudy's. 

We have tickets to see Wicked on the 29th and have been hoping that it doesn't get canceled because of the rising Covid cases. It is in Dallas at Fair Park so who knows. We only have a week to go and I haven't had any notifications yet. We REALLY want to go. However, looks like our Branson trip might once again get canceled. We are all getting tired of not being able to go anywhere. We absolutely love Christmas in Branson and really would like to go this year, but we will wait and see how things play out before we make any definite plans. We just hope that Branson made it through the pandemic relatively unscathed since the population they cater towards is the most vulnerable.  

We had a hot air balloon fly over house early one morning. Literally, was flying over our backyard about 30 ft up and over the horses pen before landing in the hay field behind us. The horses, I am fairly certain, thought a loud fire breathing dragon was coming for them. They completely flipped out and even after it landed for the next two days they were looking at where it was constantly like it might resurrect and come after them.

The horses did NOT like the scary balloon.

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 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 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...
