The Bunch Take T To Prom

My handsome boys!💗

It was FINALLY T's turn to experience the magic of prom. It was so great when the girls went I was really hoping that T's would be be just as neat. At first, I thought he wouldn't want to go, but then at almost the last minute he decided he wanted to. Some of his old basketball friends were going so he thought it would be fun. Every parent is required to have a certain number of volunteer hours per ticket that they purchase since I spent several hours making tea and souvenirs for the girls tickets this time it was D's turn. He volunteered to be on the security detail on the night of prom so as a bonus I didn't even have to go, which worked out well since I literally stayed up ALL night long the night before with Axl so the boys could get some good sleep before prom. I discovered I am way too old now to pull an all nighter. It was rough! After the boys left around 1 pm to head to prom I fell asleep on the couch for about 3 hours.  They had to be there by  2:45 pm and left at about 12:30 am. I asked T to take pics of what it was like. The theme was the best of the past 25 years so his prom had a little of everything. He even had some of the Narnia things that were at the girls prom, including an actress they hired to be the white witch. He also had a Robin Hood, Back to the Future (Delorian included), Wild West, and several more. During dinner they had aerialists performing on the silks. T said dinner was pretty good. He really liked his chicken and potatoes, but said the green beans were weird and rubbery. A asked if was asparagus because apparently she had asparagus and had the same thoughts about it. T informed her that he was able to tell the difference between a green bean and asparagus.😂 T apparently had a fantastic time dancing and showing his skills off. Apparently, a circle formed around him to watch him do the worm, jump splits, and straddle jumps. He loves showing off! And yes, he was EXTREMELY sore the next day. I was worried at first about him ripping his pants, but not only did that not happen, but I remembered he chose the $8 thrift store suit he found over the $200 one that I bought so who cared. I got my $8 worth. D had to wear all black for the security detail. We called it his waiter/mob boss outfit. I hated the coat, but it was $5 and it had to be super big to conceal his gun he carried. However, the pants after I took them in and the shirt were nice. D got a Jason's Deli croissant sandwich for dinner. He only passed T once all night. There were about 900 kids there. The second night was expecting 1400 kids! 

I waited impatiently Saturday for A to get home from work so T could tell us everything about prom. We learned a long time ago that he excitedly explains everything ONCE and whoever didn't hear it is out of luck. A really wanted hear about his experience so I had to wait and it was HARD! This is where I learned that to T "take a lot of pics" means SIX! And every single one of them managed to cut out any of the decorations! The girls took about 150 pics of EVERYTHING. I really got to see what their experience was like. I am hoping when the pics that the prom committee took come in that they'll have some good ones. However, the main thing was he had an absolute blast and made wonderful memories. D managed to get through the evening and also learned that he's also too old to pull an all nighter! 

He looked a little mob bossy in the too big coat, but hey $5 for one night, it did just fine.

One of the pictures T took, please note there is NO decorations. He was excited his friend from Scouts just happened to be there.



Again somehow managed not to get a glimpse of anything in the background 

The only pic he ALMOST got of the prom theme was dessert.

D and I went to visit his Aunt one afternoon,

We had a lovely visit and enjoyed a yummy lunch at El Fenix.

I had thought all the El Fenix's closed, but this one was most definitely open and just as yummy as we remembered! Afterwards, we went to Trader Joe's since it is so close to her apartment. It was a great day! We even managed to miss most of rush hour ( which we all know lasts way more than an hour) on the way home.

T and his friends with the Back to The Future Car

I think the Wild West was their favorite.

T took two pictures here.

This makes me want to go to Universal to see Super Mario World.

The white witch is a real live person!

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...

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...
