Well it was a history making moment...

Okay so, I was thinking about how I am using this blog as kindof a journal of everyday events (I know such a cool ORIGINAL idea!) Especially because I am so far behind in scrapbooking it is a real possibility of never getting caught up or even getting Brenten's caught up past his second birthday, and Lexie past her blessing day...but I digress....the blog, the documenting of everyday stuff...I feel that I should mention our recent election. My children are way more political than I ever dream of being, and I am trying to figure out how and why. During the elections Brenten would come home from school and ask about McCain and Obama and different political stands they had or were taking...he was so curious about why we vote, and how, and dissappointed he couldn't. I tried my best to answer his questions, and I even took him with me to vote, and tried to explain how important it is, and how lucky we are to have the freedoms we have.. which of course led to discussions about England and kings, and the army and our current wartimes...anyway again I am sidetracked. And this is getting lengthy, sorry. So we voted, you voted, the US voted and OBAMA won-which I guess in the next four years we'll decided if that is a good or bad thing....here's the funny part....my children...absolutely THRILLED! They LOVE Obama! I guess its good they are supporting our country's leader, however I don't get it...we don't talk about politics, I have never said one way or another who I voted for, really I don't even understand how my children know WHO Obama is...but oh how they love him, every time he is on TV or is picture is in the newspaper, Lexie comments about how much she loves "BrockObama" yes, Lexie. The other night we were talking about the inauguration, and how the Obama's got to move into the White House....Brenten asked if he would ever get to meet Obama and I said that the President is very busy, and probably not, but honestly who knows?...Lexie said to this "well he's probably sad, cause I know that he wishes he could come to Lexie's house and visit with Lex, but he's too busy." Yes, I am sure he's sad.
