Well, it has finally arrived...Election Day. It seems like we have been hearing about the election for years now. The boys have been thoroughly caught up in it all. They have watched the debates, made political cartoons, and questioned family members over who they were voting for. Since early in the race they have been spotting yard signs and reporting on what they have seen. They went with us to the voting place and watched as we voted. It has been a great learning experience.
So, for their enjoyment I decided to have a little watch party for them tonight. We have decorated the house with red and blue signs, flags, and we even ordered some campaign buttons which we received in the mail yesterday. They made copies of the buttons for some of their stuffed animals. This morning as soon as they finished their lessons we went and bought Eagle Webkinz and a blue star balloon for the celebration.
Tonight we are planning to have hotdogs and hamburgers followed by an election night cake. Then we are headed to the courthouse to hear the results of the local elections. After that we will come home and see how the presidential election is coming along.
