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 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 Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

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...
