Voting 101 (when the wait time is 2 1/2 hours)

We decided to make a family morning of it and vote early.    We were lucky to spend the first hour waiting outside right next to a playground that Andrew enjoyed.  The remaining hour and a half were a bit more challenging, but we made it :) Here are some tips that Andrew would like to pass along.

Bring some leftover Halloween candy with you (and see how many surfaces you can leave sticky residue on)

 Voting - lollipops

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Play with (rearrange) the chairs and don't sit still for more than 15 seconds.

Voting - chair play 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure you get the ever so important "I voted" sticker and display it proudly!

Tractors and Naps

Nothing says fun to a three year old boy like "riding" the tractor lawn mowers at Lowe's or Home Depot.  And it looks like the forty something year old little boy is having fun too!

Lowe's tractor

 

And here's a bit of proof that despite the occasional protest.... Andrew still needs a nap every afternoon.  After thinking it was rather quiet in the house, this is what I found :) 

Not tired
