It’s no secret that Chris does A LOT around the house to keep everything together. So when he went to Tahoe to go snowboarding again this year, there was some concern on the part of the kids about how things would get done. Some funny quotes…

This morning Chris O’Brien ironed all Aidan’s school clothes for next week. Aidan asked why he was doing that. Chris told him it would make next week while he was away easier, and lets face it, mom doesn’t know how to iron.
Aidan then asked if Chris would be spending today making all the week’s dinners since mom doesn’t know how to cook either.

Aidan- I think next year before Dad goes away, he should teach you everything he does so you will know.
Me- what if he just taught the two of you and you guys could do it all?
Brendan- I think that will work better.

We survived the week and Chris had a great trip!
