Wow! I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted anything here. I've partially waited so that our "we've moved" cards could all get out and those new to our blog could catch up. And, I've partially just been tired. (Sorry. I hope I didn't lose too many of my readers.)
So it's Halloween night. Since we just got back from trick-or-treating, I'm going to save the commentary and post it with the photos maybe later this weekend.
Kindergarten election day
Nov. 4 is election day at Centerton Gamble Elementary, just as it is across the nation. Brayden will be voting for "the guy with the brown skin and black hair - Barrack ObaRma." And he's voting this way because "He doesn't want the bad guys to have guns. He only wants the good guys to have guns so the bad guys won't have them, so I want him to win so the bad guys don't have guns." Apparently he learned this on TV. Can you say Alex P. Keaton in the making?
The Democratic Cheertarded
While I'm on the politcal beat, I might as well share the story of our good friend, Shawn. For those of you who don't know Shawn, if I had a brother, it would be Shawn. He cheered with us at SMS and was one of the groomsmen in our wedding. He and Michael live in Dallas now. This is the oh-so-funny story courtesy of Shawn:
Michael and I were volunteering at a Democratic booth at a voting site on Monday. There was a group of Republican candidates that stopped by to have a little mini rally. We had a few others at our table and we began chanting “Obama, Vote Democrat” and such. This got the attention of a camera crew, who came over and shot some footage of us. I am standing in the front of the group, so naturally the camera is on me for some time. I stood there saying to myself what should I do?? Every instinct in my body was screaming TV TIME!! JUMP- CHEER -STUNT GO GO GO!!! However, I knew that was not the right thing to do. I ended up standing there with my hands in my pockets, frozen, deer-in-the-headlights like a complete dork. I know you are getting a good laugh out of this…..
I hope that you all, at least our cheerleader friends, anyway, got a good laugh out of it. I keep imagining what I'd do. I think I would have tumbled. Sometimes you just can't help yourself.
That's it from this nearly 70-degree Halloween night in which I wore my flip-flops trick-or-treating with a blue Power Ranger (Beau) and a cowboy (Brayden). Photos and stories to come. . .
