Jeff has been growing a beard for the start of the school year since 2008.  Every year he starts growing it a little earlier and earlier; usually right around my birthday in August and then shaves it between Halloween and Thanksgiving.  I hate the beard.  I really do.  I dread him growing it.  One year, I expressed my extreme displeasure of the beard only to be “informed” that he was growing it and it was his face and he knew I didn’t like it and he didn’t need to keep hearing me express my displeasure.  So I stopped saying anything…mostly.  This year he had indicated he was a little tired of it himself (unlike in other years where he kept it neatly groomed he just let it grow mountain man style this year) and maybe he would shave it before Halloween.  I shared how wonderful it would be to have a family pumpkin patch picture without the beard!  I went on to explain how every year when I’m picking Christmas card photo’s I think “if only Jeff didn’t have that beard….”  So this year, NO BEARD for our pumpkin patch picture!  YAHOO!!!
