I Love Having a Handy Husband!


Our Spring Break started out rocky. The weather was wet and cold, Rowan was sick, and the Wii broke. The children greatly lamented the loss of video game time. We assured them that they would live.

Meanwhile Paul got online and did some research into Wii problems. He diagnosed the possible problem and ordered a special screw driver to open the Wii and a new laser. The children doubted that it could be fixed and every day begged us to buy a new one.

Today the tool and the part finally arrived and after 3 hours following "how to" videos, Paul put it back together and we all crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. It worked! A true Spring Break miracle! I have the HANDIEST husband!

Grayson also "helped" in his own special way, and now the kids are happily back to arguing about who's turn it is.

That is pretty amazing. Tim would never attempt that and he has an engineering degree!
