Both of my older two children are running for office today. Kody is running for Treasurer of the Sophomore class and Kayla is running for Mayor of Biztown. Biztown is where the fifth graders get to simulate their own town, working, spending and dealing with daily life of a city for one school day. So last night, I got to "help" with posters and Kayla's speech. To my advantage I came up with one idea (we actually used it before so I did not have to think too much. Thank goodness.). I used this for both kids, just changed the name and the office they were running for. Since one is in Elementary and one in High School, no one will ever know. (HA HA HA) Kayla is running against 12 others. I have to give her lots of credit for running. She had decided that if she is not mayor she wants to be a new anchor or work in the Mariners' team store.
This brings back memories of doing these things myself as a child. Unfortunately you win some and you lose some. Even though I would like a victory for both my children, I hope I have prepared them to move on graciously if it does not turn out in their favor. Untill then I will keep up the hope and pray for the best!!

On a side note: Kody's Cross Country team took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the meet on Wednesday. Sweeping the competition. He came in 2nd!
The top 4 runners on the team.
