The Bunch Bake Cookies, Watch a Basketball Scrimmage, and L Gets Her License!

 

T's team playing with the Go Pro on the goal.😂

We have watched our fair share Hallmark movies this week. For those of you who like Hallmark, our two favorite so far are Three Wise Men and a Baby and Fabled Romance. We also watched Tickets to Paradise, which is not Christmasy or Hallmark, but was still really good. Pretty much all our holiday shopping is done and I just need to mail a couple of things.  Next, we move on to our holiday baking. I normally make banana bread, but since I don't have a freezer full of overripe bananas I am instead making zucchini breads ( I have PLENTY of that!!). 

Noelle climbed in A's backpack while she was cleaning her room.

Noelle had a VERY helpful day.

She was really nervous waiting to go take her driving test.

She was about to leave to take her test.

She was so happy to be done and have passed!!

L got ahead start on baking this week when she made cookies for her choir friends for Christmas. She also passed her driver's license test!!😊 I am very proud of her and now I get a two year vacation before T learns to drive! She has her Christmas concert this weekend at the arboretum and we are really hoping it doesn't rain! 

T had another scrimmage during his basketball practice and this time played the 16 U A team. This team also includes four players who also play Varsity, two of who start on Varsity. His team, of course, lost, but wow they were a lot better than the jv A team had anticipated. In fact, if the varsity players hadn't played the freshman might have won. T was pretty proud of himself for making a couple of blocks on the varsity players! 

Decorating her cookies took her FOREVER.

They turned out cute though by. Teddy bears, snowmen, and gingerbread men.

I literally watched the fog roll in.

Our last official game until after Christmas.

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...
