Historic Election Just Hours Away, But First: BABY PICTURES

Dear Readers,

We are posting for Mommy today because she seems on the verge of a nervous breakdown, even more than usual.  She's absolutely beside herself with anxiety about tomorrow. Not only because we're electing a new President, but also because a very important proposition (Prop 8) is on the California ballot. 

If this proposition passes, boys will not be able to grow up and marry other boys and girls will not be able to grow up and marry other girls.

We don't know what the big deal is, really. If two people love each other and want to get married, who cares if they're boys or girls, right?  We think it would be cool to grow up in a society that honored such tolerance and that it would be neat to read books in school about two princes getting married, because by the time we're grownups it wouldn't be such a big deal at all!

But Mommy gets very worked up over things like this.

In order to distract herself, she went and volunteered a lot this weekend at the local Obama campaign headquarters.  And she ate all of our Halloween candy.  And don't even get us started on the drinking. She made us wear our Obama t-shirts and she tried to teach Parker to say 'O-BAM-AH' because she's apparently the more verbal of the two of us.  She also tried to teach us the fist-bump but that's a little beyond our skill set at the moment. 

And also?  She dressed us up for Halloween as a monkey and a lion, and took a crapload of pictures.

I must say that for two young whippersnappers, you sure do understand life. Why Prop 8 is even on the ballot is an embarrassment to the State of California.

Please thank your mommy for volunteering this weekend. I had big plans to make calls today, but it didn't work out. I will feel like a big ole poopy diaper if he loses. Can you imagine?

Watson - the costumes were too cute. I can't believe how much Jax looks like you!

Happy Election Day!

OMG!!!! The pics are so cute!!!

And I'm so sorry to hear about what happened with Prop 8. Unfortunately I don't live in CA to make my vote count for that. I completely agree with you.

absolutely adorable! How did you find that Lion outfit! It's perfect!

I completely agree with you on Prop 8 - and there seems to be so much misinformation out there on what legalizing marriage for ALL would mean - scare tactics, etc. It's really so very sad. But hey, Go OBAMA!
