President Elect!!!!

He's elected! Thank GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An amazing day that will always be remembered for me...... Finally a candidate I voted for has won more than the necessary electoral votes to be our next President! I can't wait for the Change that President elect Obama will bring to our great country! :)

exercising our rights....

Today was had "Kids Voting" at school. It was cool to hear the kids get so excited about voting... even if some of the younger ones had complete lies in their head about the candidates ("Oh, I won't vote for him, he kills babies" -1st grader). Everyone dressed in red, white and blue, and all 495 kids in the school voted for either the president, or their favorite Thanksgiving food :)

Pumpkin Pie won, hands down, as their favorite Thanksgiving food, and much to my dismay, McSame won the presidential election at Queen Creek Elementary.

I thought it was fun all the same, and the kids learned a lot about voting and democracy... and it made for some cute pictures :)
