Puzzling

This weekend was pretty low key. Other than the parade, we didn't have much on the calendar. We went to a Home Depot kid's workshop and did a few home improvements, had a great time at a neighbor's birthday party, went on walks and baked cookies with Grandma and Grandpa, food shopped, washed the car, did laundry... the usual stuff.


When we weren't running errands, doing chores or playing outside, you could find Clarkie working puzzles. Over and over. It's his new hobby. No, it's his new addiction! I didn't think a picture would sufficiently convey the intensity and skill involved:


As you can see, we have a variety of puzzles and both kids enjoy them. Aurora will be going to CCOA full-time for the rest of the summer, and while her favorite parts are field trips and friends, they also spend a lot of time working puzzles together. Lucky her!

Love Clark's new RED WHEELS, super cool! What is CCOA?

Doing crossword puzzles must run in your families, LOL.

Ha! That car was just at our neighbor's house - it was one of Clark's favorite things to do during the party. Aurora splashed in the pool most of the time, but Clark's not as in to getting wet.

CCOA = Children's Center of Austin, the daycare my kids have both gone to since they were babies.

And these puzzles aren't exactly crossword puzzles, but perhaps that'll come next ;)

Clarkie is amazing at doing puzzles for his age!

Ooops! Didn't mean to use the "crossword" term when referring to puzzles, LOL. I was recalling your family holiday parties where everyone worked on puzzles together as adults. Now your kiddos are into it. I'm not a puzzle person, LOL.

I bet Clark would love a BIG vehicle to drive at home, HONK, HONK!

Batman! Doing puzzles.

Puzzles are fun. I still have a puzzle or two to do but no time now. Maybe when things settle down. Clark, Aurora and I have this in common--we like to do puzzles.
