The Bunch Girls Go To H's Bridal Shower and Celebrate Birthdays

 

The girls. My soon to be official granddaughter is 12.

It appears that our family is back to pre-covid levels of busyness. Maybe slightly less busy since L is not playing a sport and A does her own thing. However, we literally only have 5 days left in October that don't have anything already scheduled. Now, some things are fun things like dinner with my parents or visiting family, but I schedule these things anyways just so nothing will come up that interferes with our plans.  D has a lot of mandatory training this month on his days off so basically this month we are super busy and won't have time to go camping. Hopefully, we will be able to go twice in November, but with T's basketball starting up around then I am not sure what our schedule will look like. 

A has been going to the college group at church and this weekend they are going to Camp Copass in Denton, which is more like just staying in a cabin and doing all the activities that they have there, like volleyball, basketball, and many many other things. She is excited to go and I am happy she is willingly leaving the house and making friends.  She has been volunteering every week at the animal shelter and really seems to enjoy it. Apparently, someone brought in a hen this week so I told her if no one claimed it before she went back next week that she could bring it back here. Farm animals are sometimes hard for city shelters to get rid of and we have successfully added a single hen to our flock before (remember our hen we found on the side of the highway and nursed back to health? She is still one of our best chickens). It helps when they are full grown so they can stand up to all the hens that will be pecking at it. A is getting almost all A's in college and finishes with her first class next week.  I am proud of her. It also makes me feel good that I prepared her to be able to do so well. 

T has his last baptism class this week before he is baptized on Dec. 4. D is going to baptize him. T also will be getting his braces off in the first week of November, which he is super excited about. L has been practicing with the choir and sings on Oct. 31 for the entire congregation. She is also wanting to take dance again, but I am not sure we have time for that. I will have to look into it. 

 We all were able to go spend a little time with our aunt on her birthday. It was fun. We visited for a bit, had some yummy Cajun takeout, and T found a new person to do card tricks for. The girls get really tired of watching T do card tricks. They'll willingly sit for a couple, but T always wants them watch an hour's worth or more so he was glad to show someone who had never seen any of his tricks.

T is so happy to have someone new to watch his magic tricks. We all get a little tired of always watching his card tricks.

The girls and I attended H's bridal shower. It was nice, but watching her go through all this stress makes me very happy that D and I just went to the courthouse to get married. It was a lot less expensive and A LOT less stress. The girls think I am weird that I didn't care about a wedding and seemed surprised that I never played wedding as a little girl. Not once that I can remember did I ever play pretend wedding or even think about what my wedding would be like. Truth be told, I never planned on getting married or having kids, but God had other plans and I am so glad he did! I have a feeling the girls plan on a big fancy wedding. I don't plan on paying for it so they can do whatever they can afford. 

H is ready for her wedding day, but was really upset her mom got Covid and wasn't able to go to the shower.

C came to help decorate beforehand.

It was really nice. We met most of her family.



I accidentally took a pic of me while trying to take pics of H opening gifts. It is really hard to see my phone outside.😂

L playing with the ring cutouts.

We played a fun game. I got most of the answers wrong! Apparently, C is only super extroverted around family! Who knew?

My future family....well have already been like family now it's on paper.

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...
