Puzzle Boy

Hello!

My little monkey boy is also a little puzzle boy. Or maybe I should say big puzzle boy!

His favourite activity lately is to have a "puzzle race" with anyone who will join him. It should be simple--whoever finishes the puzzle first wins--but if my little puzzle boy doesn't finish first he'll say, "You do that puzzle again!" Then if he finishes and you're still working he'll want to do his puzzle again. It takes a long time for the puzzle race to be over.  By then, everyone has won!

If you're bored, try doing a puzzle. Or, better yet, try your own puzzle race!

Have a great day!

Cardboard Boxes

Hello!

Have you ever built something out of a box? A big box? One of my little girl's favourite birthday presents last year was this cardboard box house. She lived in it for months.

A little while ago some friends gave us a big box from a new couch that they bought. Our kids decided to turn it into an airplane. See the controls?

It got turned upside-down by a little monkey boy and was almost a house. Windows on the roof looked like swiss cheese to my little girl so she and her brother decided to be mice and pop up through the holes.

Monkey-mouse boy is even saying "Cheese!" for the camera.

More about mice tomorrow.  Next time you have a big cardboard box, just see what you can create!

Have a great day!
