The Bunch Finish Winter Holiday And Get Back to Normal

 

Noelle is ready for the cold snap.

The Bunch have put the holidays behind us and are really excited for the new year! The Christmas tree came down on the 26th of December, but not because I am excited for Christmas to be over or anything, but because Noelle would not stay out of the tree! She tried to use it as a hiding spot and let me tell you, the branches are NOT designed to hold up a 10# cat! They start sagging and making my tree look like there are huge holes in it. It's so frustrating! She also knocks off the ornaments and tries to eat the plastic needles. I thought MiMi would be the issue since she's a kitten and it's her first Christmas, but she actually did really well.  She let me know up front that putting my grandma's hand crocheted popcorn strands up would be an issue so I sadly left them off this year and she did great. Since Axl has decided his nighttime duty is to keep the kitties in line when Noelle would get up to her Christmas tree antics during the night, he would bark at her to stop so, yeah, the tree came down ASAP. However, I did keep the other decor up until this week and the roof lights are still up (though that's mostly because it's too cold for D to take them down). 

The week of winter has been a pain. Not only is it super cold, but the septic pump went out so we are dealing with that too. I guess that's better than the well pump though. Poor T has his driving test at the DPS this week on the only day that's suppose to have several inches of snow. We are really hoping the storm holds off until night time because if we have to reschedule his test it will take another 4-6 months to get in. I hate the DPS!

 The animals are ready for the cold weather. It's not a super cold snap so all the chickens can stay outside and not be moved to the garage which makes things a lot easier.  

Everyone stay safe and warm!

T working on making a pie for Home EC. I love this class!

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 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 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...
