Derek and I are off to cast our votes. Yup even Derek gets to vote in the election due to Kids Vote! He is excited.
It took us a while to explain to him why we were voting. He was very clear to let us know that George W Bush was president ( as what they learned at school) so we explained that every 4 years we vote. Then he wanted to know who we vote for. So both candidates were on TV and we showed him who they were. He watched for a few minutes and asked their names. We told him Obama on the left McCain on the right. He stared for a few more seconds and said he was picking the guy on the left because he was cool...
So this morning as we're getting ready so we can leave he asks me who I'm voting for. I told him I wasn't telling who I was voting for it was a secret. He says: "How am I suppose to vote for my person if I don't know how to spell his name?" I told him to read it, sound it out and he would know. So he's ready to go:)
I hope you all go out and vote today!! No matter who you vote for!

I love Derek's sign!! Sophie walked into the school when we went to vote and announced she was there to help mommy vote for BAMA! :) Our kids are too cute!
I'm not too proud to admit that I too voted for Obama. My Marley has been telling everyone who would listen that "we need Obama for a change"....oh my, she's only in 1st grade!!
These kids are our future, and they are smart kids!!
You are correct, to each their own. I don't like to "discuss" politics b/c it divides friendship. As long as we voted, though, we are entitled to our opinion :)
