Two more days...

Until Tierney's month. She announced this tonight to Tay and I when we were eating. She is so excited for her birthday and can hardly stand to wait! She wants me to get her invitations done and sent out. She is even telling us what she wants to eat and who should be invited. Oh and what all of us have to wear since we are supposed to dress fancy. It is so cute!

Pumpkins









We carved pumpkins with the girls tonight. They started with wanting to carve five of the ones we have but Marshall got the tops off of three of them and they decided it was a lot of work getting the insides out. So they ended up doing three of them, drawing on two of them, and the rest get to stay outside for decoration with our gourds. I was happy about not cutting into all of them so we can enjoy them until Thanksgiving! They even got to watch Charlie Brown tonight so I think they had a good evening.

Sickness

Well I think Miss Tierney has a touch of something. She hasn't been feeling well all day and has been saying her stomach hurts. The poor girl can't get a break from not feeling well. Marshall thought she wasn't feeling well earlier this week by the way she's been acting and she has been sleeping a lot longer at a time. Yesterday she was the last one up which never happens. We took it easy this weekend which was nice. Marshall helped my dad all day yesterday so the girls and I hung out (as Tierney would say), watched a movie, and made cookies. It was really nice spending the day with them without having to run all over!

The remote

Someone has taught Tierney how to use the remote for the television and it is scary. She thinks she runs the show now. She will carry the remote with her and change it to stations that she thinks are cool. For example she will look for Cartoon Network and watch whatever is on it just because it's on Cartoon Network. It is driving her father crazy. It makes me laugh at how sure of herself she is and how she won't set the remote down because someone else might take it!

Corn Maze





We took our first Girl Scout trip this week. The girls game over on Tuesday and finished their shirts and then we took them to the corn maze by Cresco. We were able to find all of the flags (after going back through to find the number two flag). I think the girls had a good time. Afterwards we had hot chocolate and made smores over the fire. Tierney was mad that she didn't go to the corn maze but I can't imagine having her in there!

School Pictures

Tierney had her very first school pictures taken on Thursday. She picked her own dress out. I'm thinking she picked this one because it had a puppy on it. Lets hope they turn out good. She looks pretty cute here! She was a little worried about getting them taken but Tay told her the picture person would tell her jokes and make her laugh. That made it much better!

End of Volleyball Season




Monday was the last night of the volleyball season. It was parents night and the girls played a game. Thea and Lewie were able to come and watch which Tay thought was pretty cool. She loves volleyball and I think she'd like it if the season were longer.
