The Bunch Drive All Over For Basketball Games

 

Before game warm up

We have been VERY busy driving all over for T's basketball games and to my in laws house to help put out hay for the cows. Basically, almost everyday we are in the car commuting somewhere for about 3-4 hours. After next Wednesday though we have a couple of weeks of no games or practice and we are ready to relax and enjoy the down time. T is still playing well, but our last couple of games have been rough. We have been playing older and bigger teams, which are like a team of T's. Our team, except for T of course, is very small. Most of them are younger than 12 and putting an 11 year old next to a 14, almost 15 year old, makes you realize exactly how much growing happens in that three years! T has had to play almost the entire time the last 2 games to try and even out the opponents size advantage. He has been beat after his games. Luckily, his next two games this week are in our age bracket. He was the only one on his team to score in one of the games last week and he really fought to make those baskets. This weekend L has her Christmas concert at both services for church. Afterwards, her choir group is going to go caroling at a nursing home. 

One of our games was in Flower Mound so I was able to pick up my Dad so he could watch T play. I wish he would have watched a game we won!

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 Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...
