Cheer Competition FUN!
Ever been to a cheer competition and thought "Wow, this is a Blast!"? The energy that radiates through the whole place is addictive and your adrenaline pumps from the moment the festivities begin. But what you don't see is the amount of work that goes into planning and pulling off this grand event. Months of planning starts the process and then most the physical labor is done the day before and morning of the competition.I was lucky enough to be a part of The Emmaus Cheer Challenge held earlier this month in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. This was the last cheer competition of the season and what a way to end it. It seemed to run flawlessly under the direct supervision of Stephanie Wright, EYWCA Cheer Coordinator and her crew of dedicated volunteers.
One of the biggest responsibilities is preparing the snack bar. Board Member, Jason Custer directs some volunteers on set-up and scheduling for the following day. Lots of donations were made to the snack bar which provided home-cooked food for the ravenous crowds.
Cheer Mom, Jeannine Korpics is setting up the Basket Raffle table. The table was overflowing with great baskets. Prizes ranged from bows to purses to gift certificates for various area businesses.
Many parents helped with the process of blowing up hundreds of balloons to form a balloon arch. It was great how everyone pulled together to create something none of us had ever done before.
Small details weren't overlooked, such as Cheer Dad, Mike Cichocki, programming the cash register to ensure everyones snack bar purchases were rang in correctly and most importantly quickly!
Even the cheerleaders got involved. Here are a few members of the Varsity Squad making noise makers for the Emmaus crowd to show their spirit.
Varsity Coach Deb stepped in to make sure the keepsake t-shirts were organized and neatly displayed.
Vendors are also a staple of cheer competitions. This time there was an offering of hair bows, jewelery, air freshners and flowers.
And what Competition would be complete without Awards?
These pics and this blog does not do justice to the amount of blood, sweat and tears that went on to throw such a fantastic cheer competition. So many wonderful volunteers played a key role in making this such a success.
And just in case you were wondering..... Emmaus won majorly at the Cheer Challenge. Emmaus Pep placed FIRST in their division. Emmaus Jr. Varsity placed FIRST in their division and Emmaus Varsity placed SECOND in their division. Way to go girls!!!

Not so Glamorous Side
This week I was given a really nice and unexpected compliment about my 3 little girls. My twins and I were attending Field Day at Juliann's School where she is finishing up 1st grade. I had the twins dressed in cute little sun dresses and OF COURSE matching hair bows.
A teacher who I had never met came up to me and told me I had "Stunning Daughters" and that I must hear this all the time. Well, I was a little taken back because I definitely think my girls are beautiful but you just don't hear the word "stunning" used when referring to children. I told her that as their mother, of course I thought they were beautiful. Her answer made me laugh when she said "Well, I have a little girl and I don't think she is all that". How do you respond to something like that?
I thought back on this conversation as we were camping this weekend and I looked at my "Stunning Daughters" with their dirty faces, windblown hair, and un-accessorized outfits and I thought what would this woman think about them now? But with their happy faces and big grins, I personally thought they had never looked more beautiful!!!
