You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown

Despite a flat tire, Daddy went off to vote this morning, hoping that this election's results would be his cup of tea. Just because it was election day, we plugged in a copy of "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown" on the television this morning for Madison to watch. She likes Snoopy the best, but seriously: who doesn't?

It was a blissful morning at our new house. The new routine is that Madison will call out to us, and then come into the bed with us to snuggle for a bit. The guest bedroom's bed is so comfy, we rest there for a while before Daddy gets up to get Mommy some tea. It's Daddy's one big chance to serve her in some way - after all, she usually does everything else for Daddy.

The house is quiet in the morning - it's a quiet neighborhood. Daddy puts on some light music as a backdrop, and we enjoy each other's company for a bit until Daddy has to go to work.

Tonight, we had play practice for a while, but came home and set up a fire in the fireplace - and watched another Christmas movie: "A Mom for Christmas." How nice to snuggle down together and watch a Christmas movie. We've started our Christmas movies officially - beginning yesterday with "Mickey Saves Santa," basically an episode of the Mickey Mouse Club that Madison wanted to watch.

After bedtime, we watched the computer for election returns - it looks like we have the real Deal for Georgia Governor: Nathan Deal is our new governor. The neat thing about this year's Georgia election is that both our Governor and Lt. Governor are from Hall County, which is the first time in history these two elected positions have been from the same county. And it happens to be our home county, which is pretty cool!

This was the fifth time we voted this year, and fortunately, it appears as if there are no run-offs. Voter fatigue was definitely setting in. Next time we vote though, we'll be voting at a different polling place in a new county. Hopefully, Madison will still get the stickers...!
