Puzzled

Last night was puzzle night. My sister-my bride and I were working on a 1000 piece Big Ben on the dining room table while my older son worked a 32 piece Mickey Mouse one next to us. Needless to say, he got done first. OK, the fact is we still are not done with ours (we plunk a few pieces in a night as stress relief/mind sharpening exercise. In the process of the evening, we noticed that both boys were voracious. They ate before I got home. They ate again when I got home. They snacked on through the night and still wanted more. This is far from the norm for them. Usually they either eat their supper and don't snack at all, or barely touch their supper and then later want snacks. So the fact they ate as much as they did was...puzzling.

Well, tomorrow night we take them back up to grandma's and then we spend the weekend on Lake Wisconsin with their aunt & uncle. We haven't been up there in over a year so it will be nice to get up there and out on the boat. The boys will get a chance to fish a little and we'll get a chance to rejuvinate in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings.
