Yes We Carve

Since I'm posting from a rustic Fall weekend getaway with the girls (but with wifi!), pumpkins seemed appropriate. How cool is this? Even if you're a McCain supporter (and still reading this blog!), you have to admire the ingenuity and dag gum amazing way this campaign has been run - grass roots efforts the likes of which have never been seen before (at least not by me).
So enjoy the images at Yes We Carve...think about entering your own and showing your support this Halloween.
Thanks to reader/friend Elizabeth for turning me on to the site!

We had a fun time at the family "Barack The Vote" rally for Obama over the weekend.
The note attached to the "Voting Booth" sign says, "WATCH YOUR STEP"...indeed!

Me, soaking up the humidity and good vibe, with face paint from an earlier party...one side says HOPE & the other says OBAMA...gives new meaning to "turning the other cheek"!
kids registering other kids to vote.
On the ballot:
Will you agree to be a voter when you turn 18?

Digging for treasure - Obama buttons
