Well, no matter how the election turns out today it will be a day that will go down in history! We have been very active supporters of the Republican Party and for John McCain this year and Sarah Kate has even gotten in on the spirit. She has heard us talking about who we are going to "vote" for and thinks we are saying "boat". The other day at Target, we passed the fishing poles and she told me that she needed a fishing pole so that she could go "boating with Johnny Cain". I tried to explain we had been saying voting, not boating but she insisted that "her Daddy was going fishing with Johnny Cain" and she wanted to go too! I loved it! After a week of "fishing and boating" I think she has figured it out. Today I got up bright (well dark) and early to vote and when I got home she asked if I voted. The exterminator, Butch came today and she ran to the door to tell him that Mommy voted for John McCain. I am happy that she is part of this history making day. I am writing in the journal that I keep for her all the highlights of this election so that she can read about it when she is older and can understand it all better. Its fun to see her excited when she recognizes the candidates on TV- she knows them both by the way not just "Johnny Cain"!
I hope you are all as excited about our ability to vote and are sharing this experience with your kiddos too! Now get out and vote!

That's too funny!! It made me so proud when Steven (my oldest) came home and said that they did a mock election in his class (3rd grade) and 15 kids voted for McCain and 3 voted for Obama.
