The Bunch Barely Remember Austin, Was It Really Only Last Week?!?!

What a crazy long and tiring week! And for once it was completely unbasketball related.... mostly. First off, D has been ill for the past few months, but it really came to a head while we were in Austin. Luckily, he already had a specialist appointment for the Monday after we got back (we had scheduled this appointment 6 weeks out because that was when the doctor had his first available time). We aren't completely sure what exactly is going on with him since D was in so much pain during the exam that the doctor could not complete it. He just referred D over to a surgeon and we meet with him this week. I have been busy doing a lot at the house that needed catching up on. Even just going away for a few days creates a lot to catch up on in the horse pen. It already feels like last weekend was so long ago.

T played his final regular season game this week and while we have played this team before with no issues, this time the team was crazy. Not nightmare team crazy, but close. Their coach was EJECTED during the 3rd quarter and 4 players fouled out! The game lasted over an hour and a half and was just NOT what I needed this week. T played awesome though! It was one of his best games( not scoring wise, but overall) and when he decided to take the charge foul and flatten one of the other team's players who had been unnecessarily rough to some of our team, I have to say I was a little proud. Don't mess with the big guy! It was petty of me, but that game was just a lot to take in and I feel like they got their Just Desserts.

We did have a little fun this week with a Valentines Day Party. We took the day off of school (but made it up on Saturday) , played minute to win it games, and enjoyed some homemade pizza. It was a nice escape for a few hours.

Trying to pick up metal nuts with chopsticks is harder than you would think!

Even T struggled.

We also had to balance dice on a popsicle stick.

D won the chopstick challenge.

I will let everyone know what the surgeon says this week. T also has regionals this week in Frisco. It promises to be another long week.

I think I may have just taught my kids to play beer pong 🤣

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 Have A Fantastic Week!

Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing. T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
