campaign headquarters

sunday afternoon our "game room" became campaign headquarters!

spencer is running for 6th grade class president, and we helped him make posters to hang up at school. that is the only campaigning they are allowed to do. no speeches. no handouts. no candy. nothing!

spencer came up with his own ideas for his posters and we just helped with the production of them. in this picture you see one poster that says "Vote for Spencer Hayes...so easy a caveman can do it!" he attached a picture of the Geico caveman!
in this one he capitalized on the pop culture phenomenon twilight. he put a picture of edward the vampire and jacob the werewolf. instead of saying 'team jacob' or 'team edward' they are both wearing "join team spencer" buttons! in between them there is a thought bubble that says "whose team are you on?"

aren't those the best ideas ever??? i'm so proud of him for running for office. 5th grade was not a good year for him, so i'm really glad that he's stepping out and embracing 6th grade!

the election is thursday! i'm nervous for him. he understands that this is basically a popularity contest, so win or lose, i think he'll be ok.

Spencer is awesome. I wish I could campaign for him, but sadly, 6th graders don't value my opinion! Imagine! LOL!!! I will be praying that it all works out for him!
