Culdesac Party ...

Last night was our culdesac Halloween party.
We had a blast.
Lots of food, laughs and great friends.

Departing for Camp ...

This morning at 5:30am the Cernansky boys left for 6th grade camp in Sonora, CA.

They were sooo excited (not too much for mom taking pictures of the departure ... but he'll get over it!).


The question ... will Rich have to do carsick duty on the bus????
That will change that smile for sure!!! HaHaHa
What will the girls do while the boys are away ... bake, pedicures, movies and anything else we can think of that the boys don't like!!!

Hobb's Pumpkin Patch ...

On Saturday afternoon we headed out to Hobb's Grove in search of the perfect pumpkin.

They had a cute little hay ride that took you out into a little grove.

Along the ride ... we met up with a couple of home brewers who served the kids some home brewed "cider".

Hannah was determined to get the biggest pumpkin she could find. That is when we went with Gramps rule for pumpkin hunting ... you get the biggest pumpkin you can carry to the car!!!

And that she did!!!

Jeremy was occupied hanging with his friends so Hannah picked a pumpkin for him and daddy carried it to the car. I guess this is what happens when you are a tween and you are too cool to pick a pumpkin.

Jeremy made a scarecrow friend on our hayride!!! He seemed to be having trouble keeping the crows out of his crop.

And my sweet petite little girl had to jump in the tub of corn kernels. You know rats love that corn kernel tub at night when there aren't little ones ravaging through it!!! Hannah went straight to the shower when we got home.
We had a great afternoon and succeeded with finding our pumpkins.

Carving pictures in the upcoming posts!!!

Spirit Stick ...

Hannah received the spirit stick at cheer last night. Soooooo exciting.

The person chosen to take this home shows great spirit all practice. She fell from one of her stunts and jumped right back up!!!

Woooo hooo Hannah -- you go girl.
I am also sharing this adorable picture of our beautiful little princess. Today is crazy hat day at school. Doesn't she look adorable!!!

Where Have I Been?? ...

It has been forever since I posted anything new.

October keeps us soooo busy.

Jeremy turned 11!!! OMG --- how did my little baby turn 11??? I swear we just brought him home from the hospital. And then he just started kindergarten. Now -- he is in sixth grade (leaving for camp on Monday). Growing up to be such a great person.

After Jeremy's birthday we have soccer twice a week and a game on Saturdays.

The days Jeremy doesn't have soccer, Hannah has cheer. She is loving it this year more than last. This year she is the peak of the pyramid. I am in a panicking watching it every time. And there she is grinning from ear to ear. I will work on a picture!!!

Between all of this -- Halloween. Rich and I LOVE Halloween. Rich decorated the most amazing yard. We have our first party on Saturday. We are Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf - 40s style!!! Pictures to come!!!
