The Bunch Endure The Heat

 

She was a trooper. She doesn't like swimming in the lake so she just read a book under a tree in the crazy heat. 

It is expected for it to be hot in Texas in August. Is the heat anything crazy this year? No. It's pretty average, but after almost 3 weeks of over 100 degrees it really starts wearing on you. I am tired of having to get up and get everything done outside before 12. We also don't run the dishwasher, dryer, or big oven after 12. When it's over 100 we have to cool the horses off with a bath, chickens get misters, and we are nearly constantly watering the trees/garden. This year I decided not to do the big garden so after the 2nd week in July when we pulled up all the onions, I had nothing to keep up with in the August heat....and it was wonderful! It worked out well that I didn't plant a garden because we weren't expecting all the stuff to go down this summer that did so it was nice not to have something else that needed taking care of . 

We once again had a fun jar weekend. This week we went to enjoy playing at the lake, tried a local pizza place, and watched Project Hail Mary on our projector. It's been a great week!

We  had a blast! The boys played with a football and I enjoyed relaxing in my chair.

She's such a trooper.🥰

Project Hail Mary was quite the surprise. I really didn't think I would like it, but ended up really enjoying it. It was funny.

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 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 puppet...

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...
