Two Important Days

We have had 2 very important days in the past week. The first day was Halloween. We were all looking forward to the fun that Halloween brings. Camryn had a party at school with her friends and was very excited to have the job of providing the juice. She even got to wear her costume in a parade around the school. Believe it or not, when we got home, she told me what every person in her class was. If I ask her to this day, she can still tell me all of them. Her memory is amazing! That night, we planned on going trick or treating with Connor and Ella like we did last year. Just like last year, Camryn had so much fun!! She was so excited to wear her costume and walked up to the doors by herself, said trick or treat (about 50% of the time), and said thank you. As soon as she would get back to us, she would immediately say, "I want more candy!!" Needless to say, we had a great night!! And, interestingly enough, she didn't even ask for any candy the next day. Mommy and Daddy have eaten most of it - isn't that why she wanted more candy anyway??

The next very important day this week is today. We have been very excited for this election and couldn't wait to vote this morning. We told Camryn when she got up that she was going to go vote with us for a new president. She seemed very excited about it!! We put on her new "Vote Now" shirt and she started yelling "vote now" and "vote for president" around the house. We had the TV on and, of course, we saw both McCain and Obama on the news. I told her who they were and I asked her which one she liked. She thought about it for a moment and said, "Bara(t) Obama". So, if she were old enough to actually vote today, I guess her vote would have been for Obama. She was very excited once we got to our voting location and eagerly watched while mommy and daddy voted. Now, we are all anxious to see if our wishes come true!

On a sad note, my grandma passed away late Sunday night. I got the phone call early Monday morning, which was not a good way to start off my week. I am headed home to Meadville tomorrow after school to be with my family and attend services on Thursday and Friday. It is going to be a rough few days.
