The Bunch Are Living Life

A and I keep busy during guitar lessons by shopping and exploring.

So far the fall semester has been great! Even though I decided to just teach T Geometry instead of subbing it out like I did for the girls, school hasn't been too bad and T is usually done by about 12:30 pm, which leaves us a lot of extra time for some fun stuff. T is really excited that pickleball is something that we all enjoy so he tries to get us to come play with him pretty much everyday. He and I even rented a court last week to practice on. We were the only ones there which was nice since our balls tend to "travel" over to the adjoining courts while we learn proper techniques for playing, i.e. we pretty much suck. 😂

She was going to sit in it, but it turns out there is an upper weight limit 😂

We had the entire place to ourselves. We had a super fun time, though we are definitely ready for more fall like temps. It was hot!

T sets up a portable net in the driveway to entice us to play with him.🥰

A's work is having a pumpkin contest this week so she was busy making her pumpkin this weekend. They will leave them all out this week for the customers to vote on whose they like the best. A decided to make hers a candy apple. She got the idea from Pinterest. I think it turned out really cute. T and I are going to carve our pumpkins so we will wait until Halloween day to do that so the pumpkins won't go bad before I can cook them down. They will end up being Thanksgiving pies and pumpkin bread. Yummy!!

I think her candy apple turned out really cute 😁

I still haven't decided where we are going to go for our next adventure. We have been busy doing some maintenance so that the RV will be ready to go. Rv's are like houses, something ALWAYS needs fixing!

I can't believe this year is almost over! We love the holidays and are looking forward to our normal traditions plus adding few extra this year.

MiMi was very interested in GiGi.

MiMi loved having new people over to see her! Why else would GiGi be here? 😂

She crawled inside the towels right after I dropped them on the couch. Noelle loves warm laundry!

Actually they both love warm laundry. My little helpers💗.

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 Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T. We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c. A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all. We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...
