Days like this I remember why I married him. We are trying to get ready to leave for our annual ETS lights tour here in Edmonton, that takes us to Candy Cane lane and then to the Legislature to see the Christmas tree and have some hot cocoa.

The deal is that they have to clean the basement or they aren’t going.  Mike has been sending them little funny notes to the basement but this one made me laugh so hard that I could barely hold the camera to take the pictures of it.

Enjoy the crazy, weirdo wonderfulness that our family is.

I’m going to go give him a big smooch for being one hilarious Super Dad right now. I could hear my son cackling madly reading it when Mike delivered it and I now hear some serious sounds of cleaning and happy kids from the basement, instead of what could have been a war before a special Christmas event.

Love,
