The Bunch Move C and H

A is completely loving her two weeks of free time.

Pretty much all of this past week was spent helping C and H move from their house in Carrollton to their new house in Bonham. We all worked really hard and after two full days of helping, and sweating profusely, I am happy to say that they are all moved. Their new house is almost 1000 sq ft smaller so they did A LOT of downsizing. Their new house is a new build and super cute. They still have a lot of unpacking to do, but our part is all over as of today. We will be spending the next day recovering. Moving gets harder as you get older. C did two extra days of moving by himself and I have no idea how he is still standing! I am just exhausted and greatly looking forward to putting my feet up and watching Murdoch Mysteries ( thanks Aunt Pat for sharing). 

We did manage to get about an inch of rain this week. Unfortunately, it did not really make dent in the drought, but it was very appreciated. 

Unfortunately, the storm knocked our power out for three hours. We just made up games to keep us entertained. It did get a bit stuffy though without any air circulation.

T made the 14u A team for basketball this season and is very excited to be playing with larger boys, though he is still the tallest, but at least it isn't by a lot. We also started back to school this week. This is L's last year in high school and T's first. My babies are all growing up. L is super excited that her best friend is having her 16th birthday at Great Wolf Lodge this week. They are going to have so much fun watching movies, playing the wand game ( a wand opens drawers and helps you find clues to solve a mystery) and playing at the water park. Other than helping her brother move, A is taking complete advantage of her time off before school  and work start in a week. She is spending her time napping and reading. I raised a 65 year old.

Have a great week everyone! I will hopefully have a more interesting week this week and have more to talk about next week.

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...
