What is going on?

It has just come to my attention that theMangoTimes has dropped to 2nd place in the "Best Homeschool Dad blog" contest. What's the story people? Since when is "just getting by" good enough for theMangoTimes (okay...bad question...because typically "just getting by" is actually all we ever shoot for here at theMT).
Obviously, what I need at this point are mercy votes...no pride here...allow me to appeal to your emotions. Take a gander at these cuties:

Remember you are not just voting for me...you are voting for the children behind theMangoTimes...the source of many funny stories and ideas...for example, did you know that my boys have put together a little dance in support of my nomination!
There you have it...now go cast your vote...and tell others to do the same... Remember, it's a vote for the children!
And in the meantime...enjoy a little Jimmy Buffett here:

Ok, you have no shame. At this point I am trying to figure out how to get my vote back. :-) Just kidding! Of course you already had my sympathy vote.
On a serious note, are you giving your boys soy? A couple of them look rather shapely in that video. (C & J)

that is what i'm talking about...i've pulled two of you to the polls! all you need to do now is bring a few friends...
Yes, that works with the homeschooling crowd, I think. And kissing babies. Maybe I need to work in a post of me kissing my little baby somehow.
And passing out chocolate seems to be working in my comment box. What lengths you people go to...we people. Since I have as well. : )

Ok, so I came over to take a peek from the HSBA page. And I loved your appeal. Honestly! It was great! But I have to tell you that I already voted for Arby. But your appeal was good. Really good! =D
Crossview...my appeal came a little too late...but feel free to go vote for my wife at best homeschool mom blog: preschoolersandpeace!
"remember, it’s a vote for the children!"
Andy, I voted before reading this comment on your blog. I shudder when I hear this comment. That is the comment we heard here in New Zealand all the time when we were fighting the smacking/spanking laws here. The Politicans were told over and over to vote against being able to use reasonable force to correct our children. - to remember, it's a vote for the children. Now we have families being messed up because of this law. It certainly wasn't for the children. Some are now in Child care just because they were smacked for being disobedient.
Anyway that aside :-). Love your blog. Craig and Geneveive might see you in a couple of weeks.
