No Shave November

Before I post the weekend happenings of the Hayes House, I want to go ahead and show you the latest image of Stroker. He says that this is "No Shave November".  And he is even contemplating about carrying this look into "Don't Shave December". He claims that he is going for the Rick Ross look, but we will see how that goes.

As for the rest of the Hayes house, cold and congestion sat in on Devin last Thursday and carried throughout till Saturday. Just in time for him to go watch TTU win the big OVC game. He was ecstatic. He and Gary went to the football game and then ended the night with the TTU basketball game (which didn't have such an awesome ending).
Brookelynn spent the entire day Saturday asking "is it time to go to Treasure's yet?". Finally, at 5:30, she got to go. They went to the movies to see "Puss In Boots" and had a sleepover. It was one of those sleepovers where nobody sleeps...not till 3am a least.
Stroker and I had Saturday night and the house all to ourselves.  So, how did we spend such an anomalous
evening you ask?  Microwave dinner and in bed by 10pm of course. Stoker stayed up a little later trimming up his new beard.  That's the kind of romance you can expect after 13 years in a relationship and almost nine years of marriage. Don't let that last statement mislead you,...I love every second of it.
Sunday morning I got up with a horrible headache (must of been from our wild and crazy Saturday night without the kidsLOL). I got up at 6am just to take Tylenol and lay back down. The aching finally eased up about an hour later. I started my Sunday by preparing a squash casserole for the feast of Thanksgiving at church. Stroker went to pick Brookelynn up at Treasure's house so she could attend church. We had a great turn out today for "Show Up Sunday". Some of our family members took us up on our invitation, others just stayed home as usual. After church, we went with my sister and brother-in-law to Cheddars for lunch.
By 2pm, we were at Jett's Angry Bird Birthday party. He celebrated 4 today.

He sure loves those angry birds.

We left Jett's party at 3:30 to take Brookelynn to Treasure's house because her party started at 4pm, but on the way, Brookelynn told us that she just wasn't feeling well enough to go to the party. We ended up just dropping the gift off.

We ended the evening with the feast of Thanksgiving and it was great. WE have so much to be Thankful for.
