"You Choose" 2008 Dinner Election Results

The results are in! After our nomination convention at FHE last night, the kids were excited to cast their votes this morning at breakfast (so much so that the polls had to open at 6:30 AM- notice Ben's "I voted early" sticker). Ben made sure that everyone wore red, white and blue and had a sticker to proudly show.
The results (and our dinner menu for tonight) are the following:
Main Course: Pizza (easily winning 100% of the votes over PB & J, PB & Honey and PB & chocolate)
Veggie: Celery with Peanut Butter (winning 80% of the votes over carrots and corn on the cob)
Fruit: Bananas (eeking out 60% of the votes over strawberries and beloved marachino cherries)
Drink: Smoothie (sweeping with 100% of votes over almond milk)
Dessert: Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich (winning 60% of the votes in this hottly contested race over ice cream and banana splits)

Whatever the results of the US election tonight may we all be respectful of the offices and grateful for the opportunity to have our voices be heard. HAPPY ELECTION DAY!

Treats! Treats! Treats!

Happy Halloween!
Ella was initiated into the hallowed tradition of Trick or Treating this year by Ben and Kate! Just like her siblings she was a quick study- say "Trick or Treat," take candy, say "Thank you" and look really cute. The entire day was so fun with class parties, spooky suppers and crafts galore. More pictures to come...
