Yesterday when we were at Clayton's parents house for Nana's birthday extravaganza we also dusted off some hidden hobbies.
PuZzLe MaNiA
I had forgotten how addicting these things can be. Aubrey asked me to help her with a puzzle she had gotten from her teacher for Christmas. After about 20 minutes she was bored of the puzzle, but NOT me. Heck, I was just getting started. I told her to let me finish the balloon, once that was finished I need to finish the butterfly, then the soccer player....yada, yada, yada. She finally abandoned me. So there I was...sitting in the dark basement hunched over the table like an old man trying to finish this puzzle. I was a little worried that when Clayton wanted to go home that I would cause a scene kicking and screaming because it wasn't finished, but lucky for him I had enough willpower to pull myself away.

CLAYTON AND THE UKULELE
One DAY he WILL write me a song on the bass or the ukulele. For now I will settle for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole. Get on it Clayton!!!

I love puzzles! Mark and I went through a puzzle phase for a while. That one looks like a cool one.
Clayton, will you teach me some songs on the Uke. Mark bought me one in HI and I haven't busted it out yet. I need HELP, PLEASE!!!???

puzzles are the best!! tell clayton he better hurry up and write you a song. tell him that marc has written me plenty and it is high time that you get one.
Old hobbies??? I don't remember you ever doing puzzles. Maybe the wood puzzles that we had when we were kids but not the "adult"kind.. maybe its a new hobbie... i love puzzles..
