Count the vote

Last night we had an election party. Matt has been looking forward to election day for weeks. He watches the news daily like it is a religion so for him this was like his own personal Olympics. He wanted to stay up late and watch the results of the polls closing across the nation. We ordered sub sandwiches, had chips, dip, and made meatballs, gave the kids soda which was like a party for them. Kelsey said this is like the Superbowl and were rooting for a team to win. We started around 4 since the east coast polls were closing. We were lucky enough to go to early voting this year which was nice with the little kids so we didn't have to wait in line. Well, it turned out to be not so exciting...polls closing and the results came in. Here is Matt, 5:45 p.m....
He swears he did not fall asleep (because he woke up later). So he does not know I took this picture. I was trying to get kids to come down from their soda high. He would be so mad that I put this picture up, oh well he should know since he was awake the whole time right?

We all know that Men don't fall asleep during important things like that, election, stock market crash, football games. They never miss a thing. Right Matt????

Oh Karen, Don't you know that is forbidden, to take any pictures of them sleeping, and then worst of all show it around or to the world? Loved it. Good for you!!!!

Wow...he looks just like his Dad. He usually turns on a scary movie (which he knows I don't like) and then he falls asleep.
