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 Have A Hard Week

This was actually part of T's present. He had been begging D to do it.😂 It only stayed around a short while. After throwing such a fun and memorable birthday party for T at the lake with his basketball buddies, we have decided to part ways with the basketball organization. I cannot get past that evil man being anywhere near us or people I care about. I did make sure to give everyone a fair warning about the evil man and they can now hopefully make an informed decision about their level of involvement with him. I don't think T's too bothered by it. He didn't want to play this year anyways, but I had originally really wanted him to be around his friends. I am not sure what we will do instead, but I know he is happy to NOT have to run. He hates running. I am basically just feeling completely defeated. I trust no one and have a complete LACK of faith in police officers and lawyers. I know my husband is a good officer, but that's about it and the count is on until June

The Bunch Enjoy Easter

The Bunch ready to head to church to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful Easter. The kids and I dyed eggs together. T made a fairly intricate Guns N Roses logo egg while A and I just enjoyed making pretty eggs. We have discovered that using food coloring makes for way brighter eggs than using the horrible Easter egg dye kits from the store. I participated in the egg hunt with the kids this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard as we all ran around trying to beat each other. Afterwards, we had our traditional egg gravy and went to church. We enjoyed a ham dinner and watched HOP. It was a great day. T worked a long time on this egg. It was by far the most intricate egg he has ever done. He did a fantastic job! T actually fell down (you can tell by grass on his knee), but he wasn't going to lose no matter what! We had so much fun and laughter! It was great!! All smiles on our way to church. It was a little early still for A. The week has been pretty good. Better than I though

The Bunch Celebrate Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party. I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day. I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
