My handyman




My husband, great guy that he is,  is not a natural born handy man. But he tries. When things break down, he scours the internet for instructions and diagrams, and through much trial and error, and swear words, he gets the job done.

He has a helper though, and it’s not me. Our son is a total daddy’s boy, and soaks up everything.  So we found out daddy was going to be out of town for a couple of days, and I asked the boys what fun things we should do while he was gone.

Nolan sighed, and said “I don’t know what you’ll be doing, but I’ll be fixing all the things you break”.

Nolan is 10. His mother is helpless, and apparently prone to breaking things. The things my children have to put up with.

        [...] had Parent/Teacher conferences today for my 5th grader. Nolan is many, many things. He’s helpful, he’s a quick learner, he’s opinionated, he’s a cutie. But it never fails to [...]
