In honor of election day, we have been voting on things all day :-) This morning's vote was Shredded Wheat vs Corn Flakes. Each child was given a glass bead and put it in front of the cereal box of their choice. In a surprise upset Shredded Wheat won over Corn Flakes 4 to 1. Next came the choice of fruit and bananas lost to kwi, also by a vote of 4-1. Line leaders were voted for as well, Phaedra won one, Lelia won one and Brendan and Alanah will face off this afternoon- there are still opportunities for first to wash their hands, and line leader to the backyard :-) This afternoon they also cast their vote for President, the kids know their candidates! The Presidential Vote: Obama-5 / Romney-0

We also had Costume Day today, the kids looked great and it was fun! We made pink playdough- that also involved voting on the color (pink vs yellow) the scent (anise vs lemon- lemon won) and glitter vs no-glitter (glitter won).

We switched things up today and went outdoors after lunch rather than before- I think this also made it warmer when we were out.
