These are exciting times around our house, and it's not the economy, stupid. It's the election. Our two-year-old loves the balloons. Our seven-year-old can't wait to vote in our upcoming bake-off between Tipper Gore's Ginger Snaps and Laura Bush's Texas Governor's Mansion Cowboy Cookies. And our 10-year-old still can't get over the friendship between Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones...
