I Voted!

Photobucket

Thanks to all of the early voters, my vote not only counted, but it was completely painless. We loaded up our 4 children under 6 in the car, drove to the grade school nearby (about a mile away), and found a really close parking space in the half empty parking lot.

We walked in to the registration table (no line), filled out our paper, signed the register, walked over to the voting booth (lack-of-a) line, walked into the booth and voted! I had two girls in my booth and my husband had two girls in his. Of course, it was tough keeping fingers off the buttons, but I'm glad we can show them how easy it is to vote.

My only regret is that we didn't walk to the grade school. I was afraid I wouldn't make it back in time for my dentist appointment. :(

The girls are nominating dinner and we are having a secret ballot this afternoon. They won't find out what they are having for dinner until we either cook it or go pick it up. They are voting, too!

Dawn,

We love Latin for Children! If you can afford the DVD where he is teaching it...I strongly recommend doing that.

My two boys love it. The 2nd grader can't do everything but he has memorized it all by just listening along! We play our memory work every day on the CD and that has made it effortless for us.

Feel free to ask me a question again if you have something more specific.

cheers!
