The Bunch Finish Birthday Week

 

She said she was tired of eating cake from birthdays so she wanted vegan ice cream. It is my favorite ice cream too! So Delicious sea salt caramel ...yummy!

A was able to finish school early on her actual birthday so we celebrated a little more with her that afternoon. She also started her volunteer hours at the animal shelter. She went to walk the dogs for a couple of hours and said that just while she was there that two more animals were dropped off. Most of the dogs didn't want to walk with her. They just wanted to be loved on and cuddled for a bit. She took pics of EVERY single dog she walked. They were all so cute and so happy to have her paying attention to them. I want to go and help her love on the animals, but I actually have the power to bring them home and I don't really want any more animals. We'll see if the kids and I start helping her out at the shelter. A is doing well in college so far. She has two A's in English and an 85 in Alegebra.  She takes her first certification test for her vet tech degree on Friday.  Her English class is only 8 weeks so she is halfway through. Her days should get a little easier after that.

L started the student choir at church last week. We now go to the evening service after her choir instead of the morning service which kind of threw off our routine, but since getting to church is about 30 miles one way, it makes since to not make two trips every Sunday. She will perform in the morning services a few times this year. Unlike A, L is super excited about starting to drive in January. I wish I could say I am ready to do it all again, but it was a lot with A last time. At least, L's eagerness is a drastically better than A's crying! A, actually, does really well now with driving. She drives herself to the church's college night every Tuesday, to the animal shelter to work, and out to go shopping with her sister. She still stays away from busy areas and doesn't go anywhere, but to the very north side of Denton. I can't blame her though, even I hate driving in really busy areas.

T starts his first team basketball practice this week. Luckily for us, they moved practice from Aubrey to Denton so we will save about 30 minutes of driving time and they moved practice to 4-6, which means we also are able to get home and eat dinner before 9 pm. His team plays all over North Texas. His first actual game with his team is some tournament in Frisco, where they play 4 games in 2 days! I will have to pack more games and things to do in my purse because so far we play Moose Farkle at every practice while we are waiting and we are getting tired of it. Luckily, Aunt S sent us several new card games for Christmas that we love so I am going to start rotating the games out so we have something different to do each week. 

We took T shopping for some fall clothes. He calls this his "PaPa" outfit. He even completed it by putting his eye glass case in the front pocket of his shirt.😂


We take our first trip without A next week so we'll see how it goes. We are only going to the lake that is down the street so we won't be far if she needs us.

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...
