Day 8, Thankful for Voting


Today, I'm thankful for voting. Josh was gone, so I took the kids for a walk down to Hazel's school and voted. It was so fun to get out for a cool, evening walk and it was exciting for them to get to go to her school. We were the only ones there, they said it had been slow. I was bummed about that until they said about 70% of people vote by mail (which my balet was, just brought it so my kids could be a part of it). I hope most people vote. I think it's a wonderful privilege that we are blessed to have and I'm thankful for it.

As we left the house to go they were pretty pumped and said what a fun night we were having and how we get to do so many fun things--we walked to a pizza place nearby afterwards because Hazel went on a fieldtrip there and said they were doing a fun family night thing. How could I resist her. It was a fun night.

Oh, and I should mention Rhett's paci. He only takes this particular kind, which you can't find anywhere it seems. I bought a two pack on amazon once and it was like $4, but it said "colors may vary." I took my chances though because to buy two blue ones it was almost $8!! I got one pink and one blue that time. Somehow we lost a bunch, so I bought more, same deal on cost--all pink this time. Grrreat. Josh told me there was no way he was using it. But in the middle of the night I was trying to find his other one and remembered the new pack of pink so please, no thinking twice there. Then tonight I couldn't find his blue either. And that's that in case you wondered, blame my cheapness or my gambling problem :).

Q: Did you vote? :)
