The Bunch Have A Fairly Relaxed Week

We had so much fun!

This week has been pretty typical for a "normal"  summer. We have had such a crazy past few months, it feels like things are FINALLY settling down and things are getting back to our new normal. We have been busy getting T ready for school. He has had to order his books, uniforms, boots, and stethoscope. He has also been making sure that all his paperwork is finished and that everything is in order to start school on the 25th. D had two full days of overtime this week so he only had off a couple of days. We spent one day going to look at used commuter cars for T, which was frustrating. I hate car shopping!  We spent the other day doing activities from the fun jar. It was a fantastic day! We went to an 80's themed arcade that has a ton of fun video games, ski ball, and basketball games. We spent about two hours just playing games and enjoying ourselves.We always have a great time there.  Afterwards, we went to the second hand book store and A and I got some new reads. We also tried a new snow cone place. D and I actually had floats....which were FANTASTIC! The kids had snow cones and thought they were really good, but still not as good as Bahama Bucks, but then again is anything as good as Bahama Bucks? I don't know how they get the ice that smooth where you can't even tell if it was ice. It just melts in your mouth and is crazy smooth and yummy.  However, this was one of the closer shops. There were a few ice chunks, but not many. After we were home for a bit, we played a family game of a version of pictionary. T played this game at church camp and had so much fun that he thought we would all enjoy it. Basically, everyone writes down 3-4 ideas on separate pieces of paper. It has to be something doing something...i.e. a dog surfing, a book painting, Darth Vader doing the splits, etc. each team takes turns drawing and guessing and the first team to get the most correct before you run out of the pieces of paper wins. It was a super fun game and we laughed a lot, though it  was really hard to draw Darth Vader and took 4 turns before someone finally got it! We have about 3 more days of fun jar ideas to do before school starts and I look forward to them. I know time is short lived before they both have their own lives and we don't do it anymore. I will miss all our family time. Though D and I might keep it up😂. It's fun to go do different things! A has been so busy lately that we hardly see her and T is almost to that point too so I treasure every day we get. Time goes by so fast. It's never enough. I am super excited about the grandbaby coming in December!! It's giving us all something to look forward to! I hope everyone has wonderful week and is able to stay out of this heat! Also, we haven't seen either cat since we set them free. I guess they are avoiding us for a bit.😂

No joke. They spent almost an hour beating this ENTIRE game! A said it was a journey.😂

We had fun playing a Pac-Man game and some pin ball.

This place has so many games! 

Poor Axl has crazy skin issues and we have to keep a cone on him so he doesn't chew up his feet. I give him breaks without his cone and the cats think it's just the most fun thing ever to play with! 😂

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...
