The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

 

It was a great day at the lake. We were 3 of about 10 people that were there.

After all the hard work last week, this week was all about having fun! We drew about 6 things from the fun jar and really just had plenty of fun family time. We played Life, went to the arcade, went swimming at the lake, played Risk, got slushies, and watched a movie. T starts school on Monday so we just didn't worry too much about chores and just enjoyed some down time. D didn't feel too great the past couple of days thanks to his procedures he is having done, but thankfully he was able to enjoy a few things with us before he started his treatment. Unfortunately, he has to go through pain for a few days about every 3-4 weeks for probably most of the rest of the year so he won't be capable of doing a whole lot for awhile. It's short term pain and suffering for hopefully many years of pain free living. We are still going on a few trips, but he won't participate in any of our hikes or active activities.  He'll hold down the Fort and enjoy some quiet reading and relaxing time while we're gone. 

Maisy can no longer go on her walks. She goes about 3 houses down and she's done. I got tired of trying to carry her home so we tried the wagon. She actually really enjoys it. For the most part, she just sits back and enjoys the ride. 

The arcade is so fun! It's $6.99 a person for all day play if you get there the first hour they are open and there is so much to do! We played for about 2 hours, but easily could have stayed longer, our parking was only for two hours though.

Basically, the boys run off and play their shooting and driving games and the girls go play ski ball, pin ball, and pac man.

Everyone put on a concert for me. They were so good!

We had fun playing around together.

Of course, T won at Risk.

And at Life....the boy just wins at pretty much anything he plays.... except Grandpa at checkers and it drives him nuts!!!😂

D even enjoyed lake time with us for a bit.

Axl was very proud of himself for digging in the fire pit. Cleaning him up was NO easy chore!!

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...
