Birthday and Puzzles


Well, happy birthday to Nathan! This past Tuesday was Nathan's birthday. That's pretty exciting, since it was Veteran's Day too, so he got a parade on his birthday! I also made him dinner that night... and I'll have to say it turned out pretty well. Here is his birthday cake. Mostly, I didn't have any cake decorating tools, so I squeezed the frosting out of the corner of a plastic bag-- how's that for clever?
Nathan also reintroduced me to the world of puzzles that evening. I don't really do a lot of puzzles. Only because I'm no good at them and they take me forever. (Let's be honest... I get frustrated when the kindergartners dump out their "hard" puzzles... not just because I have to put them back together, but also because it takes so long for me to figure them out!) I really liked this method though. I just sit there and attempt to put pieces together. Every now and then I get really lucky (by pushing the pieces together really hard), and then I still get to see the puzzle make progress as Nathan puts the rest of it together for me. What a good team!
