The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

 

A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall.

I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c. 

A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppets looked so real from up there! I had heard of the Life of Pi since it was a movie, but didn't know much about it other than it was about a boy and his tiger. I was thinking  Jungle Book meets Lion King. Spoiler, I was WAY off! I am not going to say what it was about because seeing it without any knowledge of what it is about makes it very intense and intriguing. I wasn't the only one shocked by the show. The first act was so quiet you literally could have heard a pin drop. No was ready when intermission came so when the lights came on no one moved, talked, or made noise for a full minute. There was no clapping for the first act. Everyone was just processing what they saw. We heard people commenting on how it wasn't like the movie. I have no idea what the movie was like since I never saw it, but the play was equal parts horrifying and intense. However, it DEFINITELY got the audience's attention. There was more response from the audience in the second act. I guess we finally were able to process it. They received a standing ovation at the end. I just kept telling A that I hoped no kids were there. They would be traumatized! A said that there was warnings when you bought the tickets. That information would have been helpful to know before I watched the first Act. I was not expecting it and was pretty horrified since in my head I thought I was going to a Disney show. Would A and I see it again? By ourselves no, but it would be fun to take someone to see it who was unfamiliar with it just so they could experience the intenseness of the show. It was really good, just intense. We thought D and T would probably really like it.

We took this as soon as intermission started. I was still trying to process what I just saw.😂

A boy and his tiger.... technically I guess that was true. Kind of.

T just got his first mullet shaping hair cut. He looks like a true 80s guy now! The mullet is coming along, but it has a lot of growing to do.

The storm that destroyed Sanger knocked out our power for awhile. We were luckily on the outskirts of this one so we didn't sustain any damage, but the flexibility of my trees was definitely tested! We still haven't moved the rv back to where it goes after the last storm moved it.

I found a mullet wig for T to give him inspiration.😂

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...
