I know I promised not to talk about politics here, but there is one election I can't help commenting on. My granddaughter, Hope, 10, got a call from her school yesterday and it turns out that 100% of the constituents (ie. 5th graders) voted early and Hope has been elected the new student council president. If arguing her side of things is a criteria for the job Hope will do great. Way to go Hope!

I worked all last week.....yes, five whole days in a row, so I am doing a little Halloween catch-up.
We started with our traditional Jack-o-Lantern Pizza
It must have been good since these guys couldn't stop eating long enough to look at me for a picture.
I finally got them to at least look at me.
Then it was off to trick-or-treating with a witch with braces and a wart,
A princess with Crocs,
and a little lion who did his best to keep up with the big kids.

I am looking forward to the coming week......I won't be working and we will finally see the end of the horrible election ads, at least for a while. Whoever the winner is, I hope it is a decisive result.
Such cute little trick or treaters! I was at my son's house helping with baby Sam over Halloween so got to see the big kids go out. All that candy! I'm with you on the election, but Jeanie, I think you may have a budding politician in your family.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics. Good luck to Hope. That Hope for Prez button is so cute -- as is the little lion!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Hope! Leadership early in life is a very positive sign, and good preparation for later life.
ReplyDeleteYou may be in politics for a very long time with a President in your midst. Congrat's Hope!! Pizza and cute Trick-or-Treaters sond like a good combo for a fun Halloween. You've definitely had a busy week. Hope next week is easier...Like you, I hope the election comes and goes with no "hoopla", just a definite Winner with no hanging chads, etc.
