The Bunch Get In The Christmas Spirit And Go To ANOTHER Tournament

My son🤷💓

Last week with the down time was nice. We decorated the inside and outside for Christmas, got the majority of our holiday shopping done, and had time to plan some fun things for the upcoming weeks. We had kind of a crazy week with 5 basketball games, but luckily every single one of them was in my hometown, though a wreck on one of the days did make it take 30 minutes to go 10 miles. Since everything was pretty crazy around T's birthday we never really took him out with a friend to celebrate so this week we took him and a friend to the trampoline park, out for lunch, and then they just hung out at our house and played video games. T had such a good time! He doesn't have very many times a year that he is able to just hang out with friends, and basketball stuff DOESN'T count. These days everyone has so much going on that it is almost impossible to schedule time to just hang out with friends. In fact, T had to have fun during the day because we had basketball practice in the evening. This week we just have 2 practices and one game and I am so looking forward to the downtime. I need to get Christmas stuff finished.

A brought a week old kitten home for us to help take care of. The kitten was part of a litter that a mommy cat under observation at A's work had. Unfortunately, the mommy cat ate all the babies but this one. All the vet techs and veterinarians have been taking turns taking care of it. Not only does it have to eat every two hours morning and night, but it also needs to stay warm on its heating pad and must have a warm cotton ball rubbed on it in order to pee and poop. I never knew this, but for the first three weeks of a kitten's life the mommy licks it for it to use the bathroom. We use a warm cotton ball before we feed it. Even with 3 of us taking turns feeding it, after 2 nights we were exhausted and ready for the next person to get their turn! However, it came here weighing 6.5 ounces and was returned to work a day and a half later weighing 8.5 ounces! What can I say, we show our pets love, love, love! We had the past three nights baby free so the next two nights it's our turn again. L is excited. She loves bottle feeding it though not necessarily the getting up throughout the night.

My husband found some beautiful flowers at the store and surprised me with them.

Me at 2am trying to breath through a cat, but not wanting to move her because she is so cute.

If I didn't know it was a kitten I probably wouldn't be completely sure what it was!

How most of them turned out 😂

We had fun playing at the park.

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...
