The Bunch Conclude Birthday Week

I love the country. Beautiful evenings.

A was the last one to have her birthday during birthday day season and she managed to arrange her schedule to have most of the day off. I also quizzed her on somethings her pharmacology test would be over. She wanted to see the live Pinocchio that Disney just released. It wasn't a bad movie; it just had too much cgi effects for me. It must have been really weird for Tom Hanks to just act by himself for a whole movie. It was a great day and I was glad we were able to spend it with her. I really try to relish the traditions we have because I know that soon we won't have so much time together and I know I will miss that. Don't get me wrong I am super excited for life after kids, but I will miss the everyday things.

We had to have a pic with Noelle. She is like the family baby.

A opening her gifts.

T drew her some birthday drawings.

He knows she loves Harry Potter.

He did pretty good, especially for only using a dry erase board!

A had a wonderful day. Her work even got her a card and some doughnuts.

With basketball season starting soon, I have worked a couple of quick camping trips in this month to Eisenhower State Park. It is one of my favorite parks and now all the sites are pull thru and FULL hook ups, which is an oddity for any state park. I can't wait to see the newly done park! Between choir practice and basketball open gyms, we can only manage a couple of days away, but that should be enough to kind of reset. We get stuck in the mundane of chores and business that encompasses us at home and it is nice to just go somewhere and relax....or at least have nothing the needs to be done.  No animals to fed (except the ones who travel with us), no having to get up early for school (though we still usually get up fairly early), and NO internet. We play games, hike, and watch Dvds together. The kids usually play several board games with each other all day and that rarely happens at home. I would say we just live simply for a few days, but anyone who has ever seen us knows that we bring everything with us. What can I say, I like traveling. I have a literal countdown to when D is retiring and we are going to spend some time traveling together. We might do some camp work too. I have no idea how it will play out, but I am excited for the experience.

Our cat is not normal. This is the dog feet washing bowl. She loves to nap in it.

I was surprised when I cleaned the old hay out of the hay trough and it had newborn bunnies. Not surprised about the bunnies I have now found a total of 51 with this nest since April, but that she put it IN the hay trough!

To hopefully keep Iris from knocking them around, I put them in a low box so they couldn't wiggle away and placed the box in the back. Basically my morning routine is I put them in the box and cover them with hay and that night mama rabbit comes, takes them out of the box, puts them back in the middle of the trough, and covers them with hay. Repeat daily.

Iris is NOT impressed with the new guests, but so far she has been good and not messed with them.

This should give you an idea of how friendly the older rabbits are. About 6 come out each night, just from under the deck, to eat scratch when I feed the chickens. As you can tell, it is not bothered by me.

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...
