This was our plan: Jeff will leave work early, come home, load all the kids in the van, drive to the church where we vote, take turns corralling/playing with the kids, vote, drive to the restaurant, meet the rest of the family for Nonna's birthday dinner, go home.
Yeah Right! Are you as skeptical as I am? I knew that this was not going to work.
Here is what really happened: It all went according to plan! Its a cold night in hell tonight. There was no long line, the kids were a good as gold, we voted, got our little sticker, the restaurant had no wait, food arrived, we ate, had a wonderful time and now the babies are soundly sleeping. I know, I was shocked!
The only thing remotely blogable was the conversation that Hayden and I has where I was trying to explain what voting was and why we were doing it. How in the world are you suppose to explain the election process to a 4 year old? Something I said got him excited because he said this, "Come on, Mom! Let's go, lets go! We have to vote for our new king."

I went to vote with a baby in tow. I was WORRIED. Luckily, I walked right in, voted, and walked out. Hallelujah!
Hah. Our new king. TOO cute!!!
My that boy is cute.
Your little Hayden says the cutest thing! I was able to get my cousin to watch the kids while I voted and boy am I glad! I was in line for an hour!
Looks like it's probably gonna be King Obama.
Oh, dear.
King, President.....I don't think the canidates think there is a difference. I am so happy for you that it was a pleasant night.
That's funny! Hayden cracks me up! Glad things went so well. Now you can have a glass of wine & go to bed!
Funny.
Now all you have to do is wait and see if our new VP has a "dinah" or not! (:
That word made me laugh all day today!
new king?? _ That is funny!
Yes, after all the hype you made it, in and out and soon we will have a new king!!
Oh, a new king. That's a good one!
Wow, I think it's highly important to blog/document for posterity an evening that actually went as planned and included children! Make a note of this day! ;-)
He is too cute. He doesn't realize that history has just been made:-)
ooo-ooo Can we PLEASE vote for royalty? That would be way more fun. And I would totally run for Queen! Especially if I get a crown!!!
Ha! I blame fairy tales! Of course the people in power are kings. Duh. :)
LOL! I have always taken my girls with me to vote. :)
Well he has got that one sorted out!
Wow, looks like all the stars were aligned or something!
Vote for the new king... too funny!
How absolutely sweet of him to say that.
I had an hour wait in the morning and decided to go after work. I didn't have a wait then although I was prepared.
Glad it all worked out so good.
