Oh what a month it's been!

Ok so the month of October is shaping up to be an even crazier month than the last! I know it's hard to imagine anymore Caos in my house, but we gained 2 teenage girls at the end of September, My Nieces Hannah (15) and Madison (14) I went from Trying to potty train to homecoming and Volleyball games!!!
Here is Madison all dressed up ready to go to her FIRST homecoming Dance. I'll give you a moment to think about where your first high school dance, the dress, the hair, the boy.... ahhh ... It's hard to imagine that she'll look back at this picture in 20 years and say OMG what am I wearing and what is with the hair!!!

Here is Hannah at her last home Volleyball game. She's 6'1" so she's a natural!


The other team HATES when she's in front ready to spike it in their teeth!

It's been VERY interseting having teenagers in the house. My father's words have been coming out of my mouth a little more than I'm probably willing to admit. I remember thinking he had NO IDEA what he was talking about, and now I'm think the man is a whole lot smarter than I could've ever imagined! But even with the Caos, and the tight living quarters, I'm glad the girls have been able to take refuge at our house. THings have been kinda rough in their lives over the last few months, so keep them in your prayers!

But we did manage to carve out some SchmierneyFamily time and made our annual visit to Circle S farms. Here we are on the Hay ride. We did all our usual favorites; sliding into piles of hay, Pumpkin donuts (My favorite) the bales of straw maze and ofcourse, picking out the perfect Pumpkin.


Leah wanted a "Little bit Tiny" and Alex wanted "The Biggest One I can carry" and Ethan, being Ethan, was just along for the ride!! I love how mellow that little man is! Especially compared to the older two! They certainly have their own opinion about things and they are usually the exact opposite of each other!


We are Looking forward to Trick or Treat! We've got all the kids costumes figured out, now if we can just get them to wear them!!! Pictures to follow!!!
