The Election, Our Neighborhood, and Cute Kids

Rob and I put up a yard sign supporting Barack Obama after we attended his rally last month.  It’s been a running joke that we don’t talk politics with either of our next-door neighbors, who both have McCain signs out in their lawns.  We are sandwiched between them, people!

One of the most exciting events this past week was Halloween night, where Rob and I had a good number of kids come to our door for trick-or-treating.  At the old townhome, I had approximately 3 kids come by in 5 years.  NOT exactly a prime trick-or-treat spot.  But this year- it was so fun to get to meet some new neighbors and people from the neighborhood.

There was one group of about six kids who, upon my opening the door, said loudly, “GO OBAMA!” instead of “trick or treat!”.  So cute!  I gave them extra candy, of course.
