     This is the first year that I did not cook a single thing for Thanksgiving. I taught Insanity that morning and then  we went out to eat with my parents.  Although,  it was different than what we normally do there was 0% stress.  Well, except for the fact my parents showed up at my house an hour early and I had to rush and finish getting dressed and getting the girls ready.  
      ​The day before Thanksgiving the girls were out of school so we went to the gym and a few stores and stopped in and visited Pierre at work.  Hannah had been asking to get beads to put in her hair and we finally found some at the Dollar Tree!  I still haven't put them in her hair but at least now we have them. These are called Squeezy beads and they are flexible so I assume they would be more comfortable to sleep in.

We also bought foam rollers to do the girls hair.  I washed their hair and rolled their hair up the night before so they could sleep in the rollers.  I remember doing this to my hair as a kid and always loved it!

In the rush to get ready I didn't get an after picture of their hair but it turned out great and we will definitely roll their hair again.  It was something different and special for them.  
​     Here are a few pictures after we got home from Thanksgiving dinner.

We had a wonderful, laid back Thanksgiving and for that I'm thankful!!

Everyone has a story

11/20/2015

 
     When people really get on my nerves I try to picture them as a baby.  As weird as that sounds it helps me to empathize with them and most of the time it will lessen my annoyance.   
     Just like every single person on earth starts out as a helpless infant we each have our own unique story.  We all have different experiences, beliefs, personalities that shape the person we become.  
     Lately, I have been following the blog Rory Feek  writes titled This Life I Live -Scenes from one man's extraordinary, ordinary life.  He is one-half of the traditional country music duo Joey and Rory. They used to have a show on RFD tv that I watched with my dad.  If you have seen the news lately you know that his wife Joey is nearing the end of her fight with cancer.  The way they have handled it is truly touching and it has made me strive to live a better life. To make my story great.  To make my story one that would make God proud.  Putting the most important things first. 
​     If you haven't heard this song then you should listen to it and you will know what I am talking about. 
        I hope that if you have some time you will  read a little about Joey and Rory because I think that it will also inspire you to make YOUR story a great one. And to end this post I want to share a few things the Dachoutes have been up to lately.
