Today, Today, Today

It's one of those days {drab, dreary & chilly} that calls for a spot of tea. So, a spot of tea I have and I thought I'd share a few things with you on this very SPECIAL November 4th...

I tried, I tried, I tried... and I was denied! Let me start by saying that there was a great deal of red tape that kept us from pulling off our "Election Day" bake sale at a local polling location. I again, am so grateful for those of you who volunteered to bake and sit. I was quite discouraged with the last minute "no" that I received on Saturday! In lieu of the bake sale, would you consider a donation on the Cookies for Kids Cancer website?

Although I wasn't there to sell cookies, I did make it to my polling location to cast my vote. I need not tell you who I voted for... I think you all know and there's no need to stir up any more controversy. I will tell you this, I have a total peace about who ever makes it into office! I'm just itchin' to see who it will be! I love a close race! Doesn't it make it all the more exciting? I will do my best not to tune into the tv tonight... the news media makes me nuts. But the Duggars don't. Did you see Josh get engaged last night? How bad did he want to kiss her? He was crackin' me up.

Today is Morgan's 4th Birthday! We started the day off right with Batter Blaster pancakes with a candle sqooshed in the center. I took her to school in her "new birthday outfit". I haven't sat and sewn in so long that I had to whip this one up over the weekend. The first thing she told her teacher was that she had a pocket on her pants... I guess a pocket can be thrilling if you're not used to one! I stole the "4" idea from Meg. She and her dainty little classmates will be enjoying peti fours in honor of her big day! I was quite impressed with how they turned out {no, I didn't make them}. I snapped a picture and ate inhaled one myself before taking them to the mighty little munchkins. They looked good and tasted even better! They were just the right size for preschoolers and {believe it or not} cheap to boot!

The little {BIG} man has reached a milestone unfortunately it's not sleeping through the night ROLLING OVER! Can we all give him a big round of applause!? He was so proud and we all cheered him on in his new lease on life. He no longer will be starting aimlessly at the ceiling.

He also tried out the bumbo seat this morning... another new lease on life! Can you see he likes it? He also accompanied me this morning to the polls and was a perfect angel! Kristen, thanks for being on call in the event of a meltdown! The young man slept the entire HOUR that I was there! I'm glad I didn't leave him in the parking lot with you! :)

And what's a post without the Raiger picking her nose sporting an outfit she selected all on her own! You go sista' in your red boots!!

Ok, my tea is long gone, my dishes are piled up and it's time to get back to reality! Happy Birthday, Morgan! Happy Election Day! Here's to a new chapter in the history books of America!
