Engineers fix things

Last week Brian decided to control access to lip gloss for the girls, so he closed the lip gloss lid very tightly. They finally badgered him enough that he gave them the lip gloss to play with. Heidi tried every which way she could to twist the lid off and just couldn't get it. So Aubrey, thinking she could do better says, "Heidi, give it to me, I'm an engineer." 

So, that's why she goes around the house "fixing" things... hmmmm. 

Heidi has decided that Aubrey can't be the only one with special super powers. She claims that she is an engineer too, "because I find things." 

Gee, my kids really have put a new spin on being an engineer - to them they are fix-it superheros (rather than the downward shoe staring, pocket protecting, social inepts)

So Cheers to the Engineers!
