    Default we're doing a puzzle...lol

    Tonight Gabe and I are going to start putting together a jigsaw puzzle. The funny part is that this puzzle is supposed to have some glow in the dark pieces. I am cracking up over that.
    I have never sealed a puzzle and hung one, but I might do that with this one for Zachary's room. We haven't done a puzzle together in a couple of years. I'm looking forward to just talking together. Sometimes life just sort of takes over and we don't talk as often as we should.
    It's nice to have the downtime sometimes.
    It's difficult when you have a preschooler and an infant to fit in even adult conversation.
    and romance? HAHA. LOL
    I'm trying not to talk about diapers with him. I swear I am. LMAO
    Why does that become a topic once you have children? LOL

    Lol Sara, we have plenty of diaper talk at our house too.

    Enjoy your puzzle and adult time. How are you going to keep Zachary out of the pieces until it is finished?

    Oh Sara, that sounds like wonderful fun and what a great time for sharing.

    I love doing puzzles, although not that good at it, but it is such a simple and relaxing thing to do.

    Have fun tonight!!

    What a nice, relaxing way to spend the evening. Funny how something as simple as a puzlle brings people closer together.


    Sounds like a fun puzzle with it's glow-in-the-dark pieces.

    Enjoy your evening.

    That is a great couples activity! I remember the first time dh and I went out to eat after our 1st dd was born. We made a pact not to talk about her for a change. We couldn't think of a thing to talk about! We finally gave in and had a ball giggling about how sweet/cute/bright she seemed......! It's normal for your world to revolve around those babies....but it does make romance hard to come by.

    Sara, I'd love to know how you keep ds out of the puzzle pieces. Dh and I would love to do a puzzle together, but there's nowhere to do it except for the dining room table. So, share your secret, sister!

    Sounds like great fun Sara! We haven't done puzzles in a long time. My furbabies are worse than children with something like this. If it moves it's a TOY!!
