Mitt Romney for President

The kids and I went to a campaign rally for Butch Otter this morning. Mitt Romney was there and he spoke. It was so good. He talked about his going to Iraq and what the people want is the liberty to learn from other nations. He talked about all the threats that we are facing now and how grateful he is that we have a president who is facing them even though it is not "popular." He also talked about how important it is for us to get out and vote and to take a friend. Many races that were "in the bag" have been lost due to apathy.
It was neat to meet all the candidates. They all shook the kids' hands and squatted down to their level and took time to ask their names. We shook hands with Butch Otter, Jim Risch, Mitt Romney, Tom Luna, Steve Kimball, and some of their wives. Colin's favorite thing was meeting Tom Luna and shaking his hand. We had fun. The kids were great during the speeches, they were very quiet except when it was time to clap and then they clapped as loud as they could. Grace did sing "shave and a haircut, two bits" but it was only once and it was very quietly. We stood on the landing of the stairs in the back of the room during the speeches so we could see everyone and the stage really well.
Now that's socialization!

Two Bits!

Gracie loves to sing "Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits." Lately she has taken to singing everything she says and then adding "Two Bits." She just said, "I want to read, Two Bits." She has also said, "I need the stool, Two Bits" "I am so hungry, Two Bits" "I got my shoes on, Two Bits." And many other things, Two Bits. It is very funny!
