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'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 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 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...
