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 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 Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

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...
