The Malia and Sasha Fan Club weblog was created by my granddaughters (Kailysia and Kaila) who wanted to find more information about President Obama’s daughters. They could not find a website that had information on Malia and Sasha exclusively. My granddaughters ran away with my idea of starting their own kid-based website. Malia and Sasha are role models for a generation of children. We hope you enjoy!
We want to wish you a Happy Birthday! From your family
What did you get? (just kidding)
We finally tasted one of Malia and Sasha's favorite desserts Gelato seems to be a favorite dessert for Malia and Sasha. After calling Ben and Jerry’s, Baskin and Robbins, TCBY, and Bruster's, we could only find one restaurant that served gelato in Memphis.
Grandma took us to Café Eclectic and we tasted gelato for the first time. I ordered the blood orange gelato and my sister Kaila had the passion fruit gelato. We liked the passion fruit more than the blood orange. Grandma thought about getting the cinnamon gelato, but changed her mind and decided to taste ours. So if Malia and Sasha visits Memphis and would like to have gelato, they will have to get it at Café Eclectic. If there is another restaurant in Memphis selling gelato, let us know.
Here we are eating gelato at Cafe Eclectic.
Question: Do you know the meaning of eclectic? Look this word up by using the dictionary on the side bar.
Congratulations Deidra!
We're so proud of you! You will make a great kid reporter! Going on the cruise is awesome! Ask Al Roker if you could interview Malia and Sasha. We've added you to our Cool Kids page.
Great Britain, France, and other countries celebrate November 11th as Armistice Day to commemorate the ending of World War I on November 11, 1918. Fighting ceased at the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month. Canada celebrates Remembrance Day on this same date.
The history of the Veterans Day in the United States is as follows:

1938 - The day becomes a federal holiday.
1954 - Congress changes the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day to honor all United States Veterans.

First White House Halloween for Malia and Sasha WASHINGTON (CNN)– The Obama family celebrated their first Halloween at the White House by inviting Washington area students and military families to trick or treat.
According to the White House, up to 2,000 kids between the ages of 6 and 14 years old are expected on the grounds of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Saturday evening.
Three 1,000 lb pumpkins shipped in from Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wisconsin were on display, while children were entertained by Star Wars characters, snow globe fairies, bubble makers, and wandering trees.
The National Parks Foundation provided sweets for the children.

First Lady Michelle Obama's office said Tuesday that Malia and Sasha Obama have received the vaccine for the H1N1 flu, otherwise known as swine flu.
A spokeswoman for Michelle Obama, Katie McCormick Lelyveld, tells the Associated Press that Sasha, age 8, and Malia, age 11, got the shot from a White House doctor last week after it became available to schoolchildren in the Washington area.
President and Michelle Obama are going to wait to get the H1N1 shot until members of higher priority groups have received their shots. The whole family, however, has gotten the seasonal flu shot.

Mrs. Obama managed 142 swivels of a hula hoop yesterday during a "healthy kids fair" on the White House lawn. Jumping rope double dutch? Not so much. The first lady also gave a pep talk about eating right to about 100 children and parents from local elementary schools. Obama said it's OK to eat fun stuff sometimes as long as you usually eat right.
"Look, my favorite food in the whole wide world are french fries," she said. "I love them. Dearly. Deeply. I have a good relationship with french fries and I would eat them every single day if I could. I tell my girls this: If you're getting the right foods for most of the time, then when it's time to have cake and french fries on those special occasions, then you balance it out."
Question: Can you hoola hoop?
Malia and Sasha's Dad keeps tab of what they are reading President Obama keeps tab of what Sasha and Malia are reading, according to a report by pool reporter George Condon of Congress Daily about the president's visit to a Maryland elementary school yesterday.
Here's an excerpt:
He asked each kid what he or she was reading. One kid said "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." The president said, "Sasha and Malia loved that. They think it is hilarious."
