Playing and Puzzles

We went to the mall last weekend to grab a few items and let Drew play in the new kids area. I didn't snap any pictures, but just imagine 25 sweaty, loud, crazy kids running around Drew and that's generally what it looked like. Our munchkin enjoyed it though so that's all that matters. We did join a "Baby and Me" library group (got the last of 15 spots!) that we attended last night. Drew and the other kids 9-24 months sang songs, played with bubbles and read books. The best part is the awesome play area that the library has. There is so much to do on every level starting like 6 inches from the ground. We will definitely take Drew back there to play!
Now back to the mall though. As we were heading out, we walked by this puzzle store and for some reason I really wanted to do one. I mean REALLY. I probably haven't done a real puzzle in 15 years and figured it would be a different challenge instead of just watching DVR'd shows every night when Drew goes down. I have no idea why, but I was SO excited to get the table set up to get started and we have worked on it every night since then.

Luckily we chose a 1000 piece puzzle as the 2000 piece would have been too much. We've already spent probably 15 hours on the puzzle and are only about half of the way done! I like to tell myself it's helping my eyes and mind stay young. :)
