After a hard day of mudslinging and promises - I mean campaigning - for a dinner menu, the Bush family voted today. After we cast our ballots and tallied them up, we hugged one another as winners (and some very sad losers). Tonight, we’ll be having baked spaghetti, corn, and ice cream with candy on top. Luckily, for the sad losers, we’ll have their meals during the next week too…
This morning we had “life school”… the kind of school where we get out of our house and vote and talk about the world around us. We learned about our government, the voting process, and how opinions and differences are okay, as long as we all try to get along and do what is best. To help relate this to my kids’ world we voted on what kind of food and candy we each like best. Food trumps politics.
Go Butterfingers and Baked Spaghetti!

Now that's my idea of a fun day at school!! I love the menu, my kids don't like baked spaghetti (wierd huh), but I love it! Hope you enjoy.
Sounds like a really great lesson in life. There really are winners and losers in life. There are also consequences to the votes we cast. Outstanding lesson!
Another great idea, I think I will have to do this with my kids.
