Since it's Election Day...

So I voted today. I waiting in line to vote and to get a sticker that said "I voted". And I waited for that opportunity and that sticker for an hour and a half. Luckily, ahead of me was a friend of mine, Cristy. I waved to her a few times but she didn't see me. So I sent her a text saying she looked HAWT and she finally turned around and saw me. It was kind of awkward to yell to each other so we kept texting for awhile and then she asked the lady in front of her to save her place and she came by me and we chatted the rest of the wait. After getting my sticker I left to go to Walmart for a few things, not realizing she was going to the same place! So we hit the Halloween Clearance and I snagged a few other Christmas gifts (Toy Story 3 coupon!!!) We ended up chatting for hours in the parking lot. Yeah, we're talkers. Thanks Cristy!!! Tell Chad I wasn't trying to hold you hostage!
Anyhoo. Going along the whole election/ political theme for today. Here are a few pictures that ya'll might enjoy. Cherilyn invited us up to the capitol to trick or treat. We had fun! Maddi was in school so I just had the twins and Andrew. Andrew was being extremely shy and just hanging on me most of the time. The picture with the Guv says it all. They were still nice about it and I know they have grandchildren, so hopefully it wasn't too annoying. Andrew was like that until we rode the elevator. Man was he impressed with that elevator. We did trick or treat a bunch of offices. But as we were leaving the Lt Gov's office (after Lt Gov and I were discussing my fertility issues. Don't ask, he started it) Andrew said LOUDLY "Can we go now? I want to ride the elevator" He said it more than once until we made it back to the elevator to walk out to the car.

Oh the joys of a four year old.


Here's the pictures!Thing 1 and Thing 2. Behold, the blue hair.
Do I look like I'm standing 10 feet away? Cause' I feel like I am. They gave us some books instead of Candy, great move!
Tired kids at the end and Buzz TOTALLY psyched to ride the elevator back down.

I wish we could evoke that kind of enthusiasm from Andrew when it comes time to clean his room! Maybe we should have an elevator installed to his room, I bet that would help.

How cool! I guess your sis works at the capital? That's pretty awesome. LOVE the blue hair!
And, uh, yeah, I always talk fertility when speaking with the Lt Gov...
