The Bunch Start Birthday Week

 

Happy birthday to me!

The first birthday up is mine. It was a little different this year. Don't misunderstand me, I was still 24, but L was super busy with school and A had to work. We decided to meet A for lunch at Schlotzchy's by her work. I hadn't eaten there in well over a decade and wanted to try it. It wasn't as good as I remembered, but it was really fun to see A in the middle of the day. She wanted to make it a monthly thing, which will be fun, but probably not feasible during basketball season. L did make time to go out to lunch with us and even made me a chocolate zucchini gluten free cake plus some biscotti.🥰 She has been so crazy swamped with school and I am afraid she is going to burn out. She seems to be getting good grades though and really loves her design art class. She has a ton of projects in it, but she really likes doing stuff like that so it's fun for her. It's just VERY time consuming. I also relaxed and watched a Hallmark movie. I love me some Hallmark! I know it's predictable and the ending will be happy. 

A just started school and so far seems to be doing ok. Her school is just frustrating because they NEVER send the books out until AFTER school starts so she is missing her books for the first week every time, which is very frustrating! 

T has had a cough for the past two weeks and is tired of it. The doctor doesn't want to do antibiotics because there isn't an infection. It's allergy related so he has been taking an allergy pill every day plus steroids and his nebulizer. At least the cough sounds productive now, but I need to put a sign on him that says "Allergies, NOT COVID." We've been getting some looks.😂 We also finally got into a pediatric cardiologist to do his echo stress test. Yay! We should know definitively afterwards whether his Pectus is causing any issues that need to be addressed or if it still is so mild that it shouldn't cause any issues. We had a tournament this past weekend with back to back intense games and he had no problems, but the coach also played everyone exactly half of each game (broken into alternating quarters), which when the games count and they really need him, he'll play most of the game. The coach told the other boys that T had the best move of the game, plus he also scored the first points of either team. He may also have led in scoring. I know he scored a lot, but since we don't keep stats on pre-season stuff I am not 100% sure. He was definitely in the top two if he wasn't the offensive leader. 

My parents always take us out to dinner to celebrate the three of our birthdays.

My Daddy turns 80 this year and they still get around really well 

A was super happy to meet us all for lunch.💗

T had a bright idea💡.....😂

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...
