The kids and the grown ups have different views on the news of the day in our house. The kids didn't like the idea that we, the grown ups in town, got to vote today to choose to either build or not build a new school for kindergarten through second grade. Their beloved school will be replaced with a brand new expansion of the other elementary school in town.As parents we like the idea. All kids from early childhood through sixth grade will be in one place. All the current technology will be built in from the start. But our older two girls aren't in favor. As I went to register for the referendum our older two girls asked to vote too. The election judge said they needed to be 18 and have a drivers license. The girls protested politely saying, "I object." I might object to seeing a neat school closed too. The hard part for our girls is saying good by to their school. They like the people they've met and the time they've had there. The don't want to lose their school even with the leaky windows and the cramped lunch room. It's gotten to be like home.
On another note: I lost a tooth tonight. It came home in an envelope from school with one of our girls and I can't find it. She thought I should email the tooth fairy a picture to prove that it's out.

Tallin lost a tooth last year.....and then lost it. He wrote a letter to the tooth fairy (and she wrote one back!) It was adorable!
