Election

As things heat up for the national elections we decided we wanted to have some of our own fun at home. To help the kids understand the election process we decided to have an election dinner. We had the children nominate different parts of a meal. We made campaign posters to advertise our favorites and talked about which foods we wanted the most. Next time we might have "parties" for different types of food (Italian, All American, Mexican, etc). This time we are keeping it simple.  Tonight we are casting our ballets to see which foods will win. Here are some of the foods on the ballet:

Main dish:
Make your own pizza night
Green enchiladas
Orange chicken
Stromboli

Bread:
Pizza bianca
cheddar garlic biscuits
rolls

Side:
corn
peas
green beans
cantaloupe

Drink:
Italian sodas
rootbeer floats
crystal light

Dessert:
cheesecake
lava cake
chocolate carmel cake
ice cream

Which foods will win? We all have our favorites that we are crossing our fingers for. To be posted...
