Election Outcome!

I know it has been a few days but I wanted to update everyone on our election dinner outcome.  (For the original post click the link.)

We had the kids vote on Sunday night for the preliminary vote which narrowed it down to two "parties".  Here was what the final ballot looked like.

President (Main Dish)

Sloppy Joe Biden

Obama Lasagna

Senator (Vegetable)

Rammell Salad

Loracco Corn

Congressman (Fruit)

Minnik Pears

Minnik Mix

Judges (Dessert)

Baracolate Milk

Oatmeal Palin (raisin) Cookies

And the final results were: 

President - Obama Lasagna by a vote of 5 to 1.

(This is not a picture of my lasagna, but I wanted to have some picture in this post.)

Senator - Split Tie 3 to 3 Rammell Salad and Laracco Corn (so we had both)

Congressman - Minnik Pears by a vote of 5 to 1.

Judge - Split Tie 3 to 3 Baracolate Milk and Oatmeal Palin cookies (so we had both, though never really got to the chocolate milk part, we were all too full)

I had the kids vote right after school so I could get started on the winning meal.  I called Seth earlier in the day to get his "absentee ballot".

This was a lot of fun.  It has been a long time sice we have had a meal that NOT ONE person complained about.  They LOVED the meal and most even had seconds.  Maybe I should have them vote for meals every night.  Then maybe they would eat their dinner and not complain about it.
