Another cheer weekend!

Go Panthers. I think I dream youth football cheer in my sleep. I'm occasionally known for breaking out into a cheer at work. Can't help it-all of the hours at Kate's games, practices, competitions is getting to me!

This weekend was equally crazy. Spent Friday night trying to straighten Kate's hair-no easy task. Up early Saturday to arrive at Ganada by 10am for Kate's competition. Her team did their best performance yet, but only placed 4th in the standings. She was disappointed, but motivated to do better next week.

We left Ganada at 4pm, headed straight to Horseheads for the annual Galusha pumpkin carving. Brooke, Brian and Dupree were having a great time and carved some nice pumpkins. Kate and I enjoyed seeing everyone and having a yummy meal. It was a long, but great day that got spoiled on the way home by my speeding ticket in Geneva.
Apparently, I was doing 44 in 3omph zone. REALLY!?!? Plus, I was driving home 2 of Kate's friends, and we we all wearing glow in the dark necklaces. Do the cops really have no one better to ticket? I'm TICKED! Good thing for Kate, Alex and Emily-we laughed the whole way home about Officer Peters, how he kept the spot light on us the whole time as if we were going to try and get away. I've never gone to court to debate a ticket, but you can bet I'll be there for this one.

Sunday, another game at Edison High School against Northwest. It was a chilly game. Panthers shut them out. Next week, playoffs, another competition at RIT. What will I do when cheer is over?

Columbus Day weekend

What a busy weekend. Nanny(Brian's mom) flew up from Long Island on Thursday night to spend the weekend with us. While Kate and I were immersed with cheerleading, Brian, Brooke and Nanny went to PF Changs Thursday night. Friday, Nanny babysat for Dupree and cleaned the house. It was so nice to come home to a clean house on Saturday.

Kate had her first of 3 cheerleading competitions on Saturday at SUNY Geneseo. Her team took 4th place. Check out the video clip, I thought they deserved third. 2 more competitions to improve and the whole squad is motivated to do a better after getting a taste of competition.

Sunday we went to a horse auction at Farmington race track. It was really cool-we're motivated to one day be a horse owner. Sunday afternoon, home football game vs Hilton, we won. Monday I went back to work and nanny headed back to Long Island. Overall, a busy, fun weekend. Special thanks to Nanny for all her help with Dupree and around the house.

Apple Picking October 2009

Spent Saturday at the Apple Farm in Victor picking some yummy macintosh apples. Girls were busting to make apple pie as as soon as we came home but Brian and I already had plans for a night out. We went to Tastings in Pittsford and enjoyed some great food. Sunday was busy-church, football game in Greece, and selling girl scout cookies. Hope to get to making the pie tonight. Upcoming week-cheerleading, cheerleading and more cheerleading-stay tuned.
