Yes it's ladies night!

The other day my friend Marie called and asked if I would be up for a ladies night out and of course like every other stay at home mom I was ready to go. I was curious what she had planned when she said, "this isn't a typical ladies night out so don't feel bad if you don't want to go". So it turns out her brother plays in the NBA for the MN, Timberwolves and they happen to be in town playing the Warriors and he had some tickets. Jeff was beside himself that I was going to an NBA game for a night out but we actually had a great time! Thanks for the invite Marie! 

Political Passion

Who would have thought that a three year old could be so passionate about politics especially since his parents are not so much. If you read my last post you would see that Trey has become a little obsessed with Obama & McCain so last night after Jeff got home we told Trey that we were going to vote. Although he didn't know what that meant he was so excited to go. We walked down the street to a church, voted, and started to walk back home. We were about half way home when Trey says, 'Where are we going now?', I replied, 'We are going home to get warm and go to bed'. Stopped dead in his tracks Trey's bottom lipped curled and tears welled up in his eyes as he started screaming, 'but I wanted to see John McCain.' It was the saddest little face I have ever seen. It was like we had taken him to the gates of Thomas Town, let him take a peek and then ripped him away. He cried the whole way home!! By the time we got home it was already announced that Obama was President, Trey's tears dried and he played his guitar with joy!!

May the best man win

Trey has taken a real interest in the elections over the last few months and we are not really sure why. A few weeks back we were getting ready for Jeff's softball game and Trey asked if Barak Obama was going to be there? How do you answer that one with a straight face? Over the weekend Trey was in rock star mode and was singing 'John McCain is so cute, John McCain is so nice', still looking for a straight face. The best was tonight as I was getting stuff ready for dinner and there was a political ad that came on and Trey says, 'Mom I want a Barak Obama toy for Christmas'. I finally laughed and said, 'I don't think they have toys like that' as he shrugged his shoulders and said, 'that's fine I'll have a John McCain toy instead'. HAPPY VOTING!!
