I am still blurry-eyed from the late night of Election Day TV. I couldn't get enough of it. We are big Barack Obama fans in our house. When we moved from Chicago to Indy in 2005, he even made our con list (Con- not getting to vote for Barack Obama anymore). I have enjoyed discussing the election with my students. Yesterday, we held a third grade election complete with voter registration cards, voting booths and long lines at the polls. Here are some funny things they asked:
1. Who counts the votes?
2. Who says, "You win!"
3. When does George Bush have to move out of the White House?
4. Does the new president have to sell his house?
5. Does the president have to be married?
6. If the president gets married, do they have to pay for the wedding?
Our country has changed for the better. What a great priviledge to be able to vote for our country's leader!

On a side note, Emma had tubes put in her ears today. She did very well with the procedure and is back to playing and stealing my pilgrim decorations off the tables. She even had to take one pilgrim with her as she napped. :)
