we voted!!!

Election day ranks as one of my most favorite days. Too bad it only comes around every 4 years...

We've had some great conversations with the boys about the election process. It has been a great review for me, and they LOVED that they got to be a part of the process at school.
The results at the Elementary school:

McCain by a landslide.

I think my kids are going to be disappointed when they wake up in the morning to (possibly) have a different outcome in the real world.
This will be especially shocking since rumor on the playground was that a win for Obama would result in school on the weekends and the cancelling of Christmas (man, people really brainwash their kids.)

*I think Sam voted to never wear pants again. Ever.

Way to exercise your right to vote> Our kids voted in school as well. I think its really great for them to be able to participate even of it's not for real

I think it is fun to let the kids vote! They always go with their parents, but it is still cool!

Max heard that Obama would make year round school, no summer break. My vote may have swayed if that were the case.

Honestly - the kids are going to wake up to depression - on the good side prop 8 is looking good!

I'm feeling a little better now that 8 is doing well.

Way to go! My kids are all about exercising their right to vote...sadly, they don't all vote the way I do!

That is a great platform Sam has. We can all get behind it...get it...BEHIND...*snort*...I need to take a nap and it is only 9:26 in the morning.

I love your family picture. You have such a cute family!

I thought about you yesterday when I voted...I love people who get into the political process! Since Obama won, keep us posted on how your kids enjoy school on the weekends...

That's some serious indoctrination.
I'm always sad when it's over because I look forward to it so much, it's electric.
But this morning I am ecstatic.

Jennie said...

well, i think my kid voted based purely on looks. he thinks obama is a good lookin dude.

Kelley said...

That's neat you took the time to explain the process to your kids. Should be interesting...

Lorena said...

Love the picture. So, how did they react this morning?

Blanck said...

"A" would vote for not pants too! So are your kids okay with weekend school?
