The Bunch Help The Kitty Grow And Get Ready For Christmas

My son the giant💗

Things have been very busy at our house. Not only are we getting ready for the holidays, but we have also had 5 basketball games a week plus practice and a newborn kitten who needs a bottle about every three hours, day and night. Even with A, L, and I trading off shifts, we are all still very tired. She is growing really well though. She has gone from about 4oz to 13oz now. Her eyes are open, her ears are up, and she can crawl, though she is pretty wobbly. We cannot wait until sometime in the next week or so when she gains the ability to go to the bathroom without us having to rub her with warm cotton balls.

Noelle was a little more receptive to taking a Santa picture with T.

A is basically the kittens over protective mommy. She takes the baby, who we named Miracle, back and forth with her to work so she can bottle feed her there and check her weight. As worried as we were with Noelle meeting Maisy, I have to say that with this kitten Maisy couldn't care less. I don't know if it's because she is now almost 14 years old and deaf or if because it's so small, but she'll get down on the floor and chew her bone while the kitten is out getting tummy time on the floor next to her. HOWEVER, Noelle is another matter. She does NOT like this thing that has taken attention away from her. She actually growls at the kitten. However, today she didn't growl. She just sat there and and gave the kitty an death stare so maybe she is getting use to her???

Isn't she getting so big!?! I can actually tell it's a cat now.

L read her the story of the Christmas Kitten.

This week is baking week. Which means I make goodies for D's work, A's work, us, the farrier, the basketball coach, etc.. So far it has been 2 full days of baking and I still have at least two more go. T has been more than willing to taste test my "mistakes".😂 I have almost everything done for the holidays and it feels GREAT! I feel relaxed and ready for the season...kind of. I just need the finishing touches on a couple of things. D has an endoscopy scheduled on the 21st so we aren't sure how he'll feel afterwards so his birthday celebration is probably going to be pretty low key. I'll make him his favorite stuff (which hopefully he can eat) and we'll rent a movie or something.

T is really into collecting coins so we went to a coin show at his request.

We were totally bored!

L did find a good deal on a cute ring. However, if you don't like to stare at different coins for hours this is not the place for you!

We went to take pictures at the Gaylord. It wasn't as well decorated as I remembered.

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...
