Our friend wanted to borrow a puzzle to do but then decided against it. Andrew and I did this one the first year we were married and haven't touched it since. But because I had gotten it out I thought we should try doing it again. We spent a couple hours each night for 3 days putting it together. It was actually pretty fun. It is such a thrill to find a piece that fits, especially if it was a piece the other person had been looking for for a while. :)
So if you are wondering what to do with your nights and are bored with what you have been doing try doing a puzzle. Plus it gives you time to just talk to each other and enjoy the other's company while you put in a piece they wanted to and rub it in their face. :)
We put Tanner in a two week swimming lesson class and he absolutely loved it. Taking Tanner swimming before was not always the most enjoyable thing but now it is really FUN. He likes going under the water and just having fun being in the water. He's not quite ready to swim on his own. This was just a beginning class but I thought it was great for him.
Here he is at his lesson waiting to get in.
I told Tanner that we would buy him some goggles so the water wasn't getting in his eye's so much. He wore them around the house for the first couple of days we had them. I got 3 pair at Toys' R Us on sale for less then the price of one, so all the boys have one. Benson took his off right before I could get a picture and Andrew's are a little tight... maybe I should have gotten a adult pair. :)
With Tanner enjoying swimming so much we have gone the the KROC Center a couple of times to swim. I love it because they have a shallow part cut off from the deep water but right next to it and then 3 foot water that's deep enough for Tanner to play in. I can be by both kids without worrying about either of them.
Here is Andrew having fun. It really is such a fun and cheap place to go to for the whole family.
