So this week, I asked Todd if he would prepare a little lesson for FHE. His lesson consisted of us all going out front to learn how to change a tire. He said this lesson was to mainly benefit Ariel, but the rest of us could learn from it too. To Ariel's great distress, she ended up doing most of the work. No one single person succeeded in changing the complete tire from start to finish but 4out of 5 of us worked on the process. Unfortunately, I had to sit this one out, on account that I was wearing nice clothes that I did not want to get dirty. Of course when I came out to watch, I had to bring the camera, which took the "stress" level up a notch. Ariel did not want the "event" captured on film...(she knows it is going straight to the blog..) The blog is such a handy little tool. I was very impressed with how long Ariel hung in there. She got the tools off the trunk board, she pulled the tire out of it's little hiding place beneath the trunk board (she had no idea all that stuff was under there.) She jacked up the car and while she was turning that handle round and round, she got a little annoyed. She said to Todd, "Can you do this?" he's all "Why, you need to do it." She said, "This is so boring. I am so bored!" She un-did the lug nuts and pulled them off and finally pulled the tire off. She was not able to hoist up the little tire back on the wheel, so, Aaron gave it a try. After a time, he succeeded in getting the spare on there. He took it back off and then Megan gave it a try. She was also able to get the spare lifted onto the wheel well and she even did it with a splint on her pinky finger. Good job Meggie! You made me proud. They seemed to have a pretty good time with the whole lesson. Ariel never did take her turn again in trying to get the spare tire on. She assured us that if she was ever actually changing a tire by herself, in real life, that her adrenaline would help her be strong enough to get the tire on. It was pretty amusing to watch it all from my seat on the back bumper of the van. I even learned a few things myself. If I had no cell phone coverage, I could probably change a flat tire all by myself now.

It is funny, I don't know Todd very well, but this FHE sounds right up his alley. I love it! It actually could be a true lifesavor! Kudos to Todd! Love Ariel's new haircut too~
HAHAHA Ariel cracks me up! Next time I get a flat tire I know who to call and hopefully her adrenaline is flowin that day! :)
