Election Day is Finally Here

This past week has been very busy, but in a good way. The Big Giraffe and I have gone on three date nights! I know, I can't believe it myself. Let me just pause here so I can pinch myself to make sure I'm not asleep! I hope that those three date nights don't mean that we won't have any more date nights for the next year. Is there a quota on how many date nights you can have a year once you have kids? We went to the So You Think You Can Dance Live Tour, to see the movie Mama Mia in the cheap theater with the awesome self serve popcorn butter machine (seriously why don't all theaters have that?) and tonight out for coffee and dessert. I'm still in shock that we had three in one week!

We also replaced the sunroof this weekend. I should clarify that by "we" I mean the roofers because for the Big Giraffe and I to have replaced the roof would truly be an impressive feat. We were impressed with how quickly that was finished. After having a week filled with date nights and successful major household repairs, it seems almost fitting that election day is tomorrow. Like many, I can't believe that the election is already here. It seems like the campaigning has gone on for...what...four years? Regardless of what happens, I am excited to go cast my vote. I'm going to watch the results come in tomorrow night. I'm excited for my kids to be part of this historic event as they began their introduction to politics.

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: I encourage you to go out and vote.

    I schlepped the boys in with me, and H was tres excited to be in the same place as the fire engine...even wore his fireman's helmet. I taught him to say 'Barack the Vote' :)

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
