Gotta erase those photos as soon as I am back. Can anyone really stand photos of themselves? Everyone else always thinks they are better than you do. And you only think; but I don't really look like that, really...like when your voice is tape-recorded and it is played back; you think, I don't really sound like that, but do I? It is too late, our power had been out from yet another storm but is now back on again (NS Power you rock again). Just in time to see the end of the Amazing Race (what is up with that Florida family???). I leave for British Columbia tomorrow and will be working there for a few days. I will not be blogging (fyi)...

So, Mr. C. because you read this, here's your list of things to do while I am away:

1. have loads of fun with the guys
2. give them constant hugs and kisses from me
3. kiss the babes' hands, tickle him behind the ears, and fly his blankie in the air over his head; all of these things make him belly laugh.
4. sing "Go to Sleep" every night to our son in your best mommy voice and make sure his hands are always clean and that he brushes his teeth really well and has plenty of fun every day.
5. give him the thumbs up sign enthusiastically at swimming lessons; he looks for this.
6. drive safely wherever and whenever you are out.
7. give them both more hugs and more kisses and more tickles behind the ears and smother them with I love yous from me.
8. as much as my mom and dad insist (or not) on you coming over for dinner, think it over very carefully and remember that it will likely end up being more work than help.
9. make sure that both boys are dressed properly for the weather; bundle the babe up and make sure both have good warm clothing on.
10. who cares about the housework and any work, for that matter; just have fun fun fun
I love you and I'll see you Saturday night.
