Finished this factory sealed puzzle just barely. Notice anything peculiar? Hmmmm? Yeah, there are about 60 pieces missing. Yes, I know the two year old was helping, but we’ve checked EVERYWHERE and there is no sign of even one rogue piece kicking around anywhere. So unless she ate them- this is a Sherlocian mystery.
I’ve never seen anything like this.
Sheesh.
April and Jacob will be coming back tonight.
At last–at last!
This baby girl sure does miss her Mommy & Daddy.
Bless her sweet heart.
April and Jacob are on a wonderful trip to Israel for Jacob’s cousin’s wedding and I’m staying with the kids while they’re gone. To make it easier on itty bitty Hazel, we made a picture of her parents that she can look at when she misses them.
It helps her if she can look at the pictures and I can say, “Mommy and Daddy will be home in a few days sweetie’–even if time is a bit of a mystery at this age.
What she does understand though is that they are her world.
“I wub dem.”
“I know honey…I know.”
What a beautiful world is in a simple piece of chalk.
Whenever I’m tending kids for a few days at a time, I like to bring a puzzle to work on. It keeps me pretty much in the middle of things and if the picture is interesting enough, I might even have some little helpers. This time the puzzle was candy bars. Good choice, right?
One particular pixie was very, very interested in helping me. At first, I was hesitant, thinking she was certainly too little to understand the concept of fitting the pieces together.
Holy cow. Was I ever wrong.
That’ll teach me.
