After dinner tonight I said to Roudy, "Are you going to go vote?" And Jaxon yells from the other room, "Vote for Obama!" I asked Jaxon how he even knew that name and he said, "We had a vote at school today. I voted for Obama." So I asked him why he voted for Obama. His answer? "He's going to send money to Africa to people that don't have any money." Then I say, "Jaxon, where do you think he's going to get that money?" Realization hit him and he just said, "Oh."
I'm concerned, not only that they are teaching my 1st grader politics at school, but at how many people are going to vote for Obama not knowing the whole story......

Hi Mind!
Yikes about Obama and Jaxon...Your costumes were cute. I always knew you should have been a cheerleader! We have already started building our house, so the count down is on!
ehhh... they seriously were teaching him that in 1st grade??? I'm with you, everything is going down the crapper! Hows this for crap, Justin and I went on a date and found out we could vote here and they would send it to walla walla (long story)so after dinner we went and voted, well by the time we got home Obama had won! Good crap! I'm 100% sure our votes were not counted.
Bracken said the same thing. When I asked him why he voted for Obama he said because he looks nice. I totally agree, elementary kids may be getting the opinion of others and not the whole story. Why does it really matter at that age anyway?
hey sooo I'm thinking about starting the recipe blog but do you think anyone else will want to do it???? or will it be totally lame?
