We said good-bye to Sam and Carroll today as they are off to Florida for the winter...May seems along ways away...I think the Cudney's just might be taking a vacation to Florida to see them!

An Old Fashioned Harvest Fest in Underhill

It was hard to believe it was the first official weekend of fall with temperatures hitting 80 degrees...but we will take it knowing what we are in for soon! We spent the afternoon at the Old Fashioned Harvest Fest in Underhill. We have gone for the past few years and now is a tradition for us! We love the old fashioned feel of the event which has us going back year after year!

Hinesburg Harvest Fest!

A baby pool full of corn fed was all the boys needed for entertainment at the Hinesburg Harvest Fest today!

Week 3 of Soccer!

A gorgeous late summer day to spend at the Hunger Fest in Hinesburg to raise money for needy families and provide relief to those who suffered loss from Hurricane Irene.

Rockin Ron the Friendly Pirate

Sawyer and Cole with Ron the Friendly Pirate!

We took the kids to Barnes and Noble for a night of rocking with Rockin' Ron the Friendly Pirate. The kids enjoyed all the pirate songs.

Photo by Cole!

Daddy and Mommy sharing an apple at the orchard.

It's not often I'm the subject of a photo, but with Cole's interest in photography, I'm finding that I'm in a few more these day and LOVE this one he captured today of Ken and I!

Enjoyed a perfect evening with Ken, Cole, Sawyer, Jen and Griffin at the Colossal Corn Roast in Underhill at the Chamberlin Family Farm. It's an event we always look forward to with all the fresh roasted corn you can eat and the biggest bonfire you will ever see.

Hinesburg Kindergarten Soccer!

Cole started soccer on Saturday mornings and it continues for the next 6 weeks.

The Horses Visit Our Yard!

Just another afternoon in the neighborhood: getting kids off the bus and heading home only to find four horses wondering into our yard. They escaped from the stable down the road and apparently head for the yard with the best grass...that's Ken's. Rumor has it they have been here before and like to go where there is good grass. After about 20 minutes of good snacking, we were able to track someone down from the farm and bring them back home. Sawyer was able to have a quick ride before they were off!

Sawyer's Big Boy Room!

car pillow from Target

Table refurbished from Karen and PJ...love it!

Vintage NH plate


Not that Sawyer minded, but his room prior to the makeover this summer, was a hodgepodge of things. I really wanted to make it into a real little boy's room. I decided on a vintage theme with red, white and blue accents and ran with it. Found a great captain's style trundle bed (like new) on craig's list for $200 and hit up my Aunt PJ and other local antique shops to find some cool vintage items to complete the room. I think it will grow with him for many years to come!
