When we moved to California, we signed up to get mail-in ballots for elections. But we don't trust the mail 100%, so we still drop off our ballots in person. It does save us from having to wait in line to vote, which is fabulous. And a mail-in ballot also gives us more time to carefully consider every ballot measure. It was like a part-time job this year trying to figure out all the initiatives on the ballot. Sheesh.
Today, we dropped off our ballots!! We're feeling hopeful that our guy will win. What can I say; we believe in miracles.
Then we went candy shopping for Halloween. Last year, we had so many trick-or-treaters, we actually ran out of candy. I started giving away all my change, then some stuffed animals, then I scrounged our pantry and found some protein bars...So this year, I bought 10 big bags of candy. And lo and behold, it rained and not that many kids came. We only gave out 3 bags. (Good thing we got the exercise bike!)
Graham enjoyed Halloween more this year than usual. He usually just ignores the trick-or-treaters, but this year he wanted to be right in the thick of it. So we sat in chairs on the front doorstep with Micki and our candy bowl and greeted everyone together. The kids were adorable and they loved Micki and our screaming doormat.
