The Bunch Have A Spooktacular Halloween πŸ‘»πŸŽƒ

 

Marty McFly- Back to the Future 

Since Halloween was on a Friday and A had to work we celebrated a little bit on Thursday with A while she was home and then T and I had our normal Halloween day. Halloween isn't a huge holiday here, but as a tradition we usually make our jack o lanterns, watch Halloween themed tv shows or videos, and make fruit pizza and regular pizzas. Lately we have been having pizza on Wednesday after we visit Aunt P, so we weren't really in the mood for regular pizza, but the fruit pizza is always a hit so that stayed! We carved our pumpkins while A was home and watched the cartoon Legend of Sleepy Hollow. We had been reading the book and it was interesting how close the cartoon stayed to the book. I honestly can't remember a Halloween without watching the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I remember watching it as kid and now my kids watch it every Halloween. It's a fun little tradition.We also watch Hocus Pocus every year.

 We still didn't get have any trick or treaters. D even let a new family that moved on to the street and has little kids know that we do trick or treating if they wanted to stop by. In hindsight, maybe A was right in saying it seemed a little creepy to invite kids to come to our house in exchange for candy. πŸ˜‚ I really miss seeing all the kids dressed up in their cute little costumes and seeing how much the grow each year. There is always next year.

T and I had fun on Halloween.  Not only did we watch Halloween themed shows, but we also had a fun time playing dress up for my calendar pictures. We recruited Axl to play and he was such a good sport! He let us dress him up and take pictures for about 30-45 minutes before he was done. T also played and we tried to get everyone guess who he was. Everyone guessed correctly! T really did a good job coming up with something. We are going to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future in March and I really hope he wears his outfit. A lot of people dress to whatever the show is and his outfit would be perfect!

Axl would not look me!

What a little businessman!

Aren't they cute...I mean cool?!? 

C said Axl looked like Winston Churchill. πŸ˜‚

Not only did we have a blast playing dress up with Axl, but T also helped make the fruit pizza before he left for his camping trip.

Poor Maisy wasn't up to playing dress up with us.

I made an owl.

This was T's .



D had issues that I beat his high score by only 2 points so I destroyed him by almost 200 points. Beat that baby!

 

A even participated in pumpkin time.

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change πŸ€”

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!πŸ₯° 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.πŸ’— 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...
