Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well and recovery from Election Day. Mark worked the polls yesterday for two local candidates and we celebrated the national democratic victory last night. I know everyone today is glad the election is over whether your candidate won or lost. This seemed like the longest campaign in history, it went on and on. I know I could use a break from the emails, phone calls, mail and knocks at the door. However for the first time in my adult life I understand the difference that, emails, phone calls, mail and knocks on the door made. I think the very best thing that came from this election was that people realized their vote matters. The best thing for me knowing my 6 year old through out her life will say “I remember when the first black president was elected”. It truly is a historical national event.
On a different note we have been busy with usual life things, Zoe, Sophia and I walked with and supported our friend Ashley who is a diabetic. The girls had a great time at the JDF walk, radio Disney, bouncers, make your own cookie and hair dye were the highlights. Our friend baby Anna turned 1, complete with a barnyard and a pumpkin cake. Sophia had her very first pony ride that afternoon and Zoe showed off how well she sits in a saddle. It was a beautiful afternoon to celebrate Anna. Zoe had open house at school and we got to see all the things she has been working on. Zoe is also taking guitar lessons at school now and will start basketball in a few weeks. Sophia had a little set back at school she was attacked by one of the biters and bitten in the middle of the back. She was a little reluctant to enter any room he might be looming in for a few weeks after. I have to say though since she was attacked she hasn’t bitten Zoe, so I guess you can find good everything!
Trick or Treat this was a great Halloween the weather was perfect and the kids had a great time. Zoe was Hannah Montana and Sophia was the little mermaid; Halloween has changed a lot since my trick or treating days. This year Zoe drove her Barbie car around the neighborhood from house to house with Sophia as her passenger. Some people even came out to the curb so it was drive by trick or treating. I remember when we had to go house to house climb steps in costumes that were too big and you couldn’t see out of. I wonder what it will be like for Zoe and Sophia’s kid’s will they just trick or treat on a social networking site and email pictures of the candy so nobody has to go outside or get fat! Anyway it was a good Halloween and it has been a nice a fall, looking forward to the holidays.
