Oh my gosh, I think we're REAL homeschoolers!

Last week, to my utter dismay, our electric pencil sharpener died.  There was a piece of lead stuck somewhere in it's inner workings, and no matter how hard I hit the thing, it wouldn't come out.

Well, you know how you're always reading stories of homeschoolers who can disassemble and reassemble VCR's and computers blindfolded and such?    Well, I figured that if we didn't try to fix the pencil sharpener, we'd have to buy a new one, and if we tried to fix it and it didn't work, we'd still have to buy a new one, so really, there was no risk in trying, right?

Using my handy dandy tool kit that I got for my birthday last year (133 more shopping days, kids), Eli and I managed to take the sharpener apart.  And then my brilliant boy fixed it!

I'm so proud!  We're real homeschoolers now.  Like the ones you see in magazines who have their own businesses by age 12 & are netting $20,000 per year by raising goats and developing their own line of organic, totally hypo-allergenic skin care line.

Or something like that. :)
