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 Have A Hard Week

This was actually part of T's present. He had been begging D to do it.😂 It only stayed around a short while. After throwing such a fun and memorable birthday party for T at the lake with his basketball buddies, we have decided to part ways with the basketball organization. I cannot get past that evil man being anywhere near us or people I care about. I did make sure to give everyone a fair warning about the evil man and they can now hopefully make an informed decision about their level of involvement with him. I don't think T's too bothered by it. He didn't want to play this year anyways, but I had originally really wanted him to be around his friends. I am not sure what we will do instead, but I know he is happy to NOT have to run. He hates running. I am basically just feeling completely defeated. I trust no one and have a complete LACK of faith in police officers and lawyers. I know my husband is a good officer, but that's about it and the count is on until June

The Bunch Enjoy Easter

The Bunch ready to head to church to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful Easter. The kids and I dyed eggs together. T made a fairly intricate Guns N Roses logo egg while A and I just enjoyed making pretty eggs. We have discovered that using food coloring makes for way brighter eggs than using the horrible Easter egg dye kits from the store. I participated in the egg hunt with the kids this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard as we all ran around trying to beat each other. Afterwards, we had our traditional egg gravy and went to church. We enjoyed a ham dinner and watched HOP. It was a great day.  T worked a long time on this egg. It was by far the most intricate egg he has ever done. He did a fantastic job! T actually fell down (you can tell by grass on his knee), but he wasn't going to lose no matter what! We had so much fun and laughter! It was great!! All smiles on our way to church. It was a little early still for A. The week has been pretty good. Better than I though

The Bunch Celebrate Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

  Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party.  I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day.  I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
