In which I finally put together the puzzle Connor bought for me when he went to Japan

Souvenirs from Japan

Connor is back from Japan! And he brought home gifts for everyone! He buys really wonderful souvenirs, by the way.

Look at what he brought home for me.

He knows I love puzzles and notebooks.

And Starbucks mugs.

 

I love my new mug!   



 

And Pokemon and stickers.   

 

I put my new Raichu sticker on my laptop.   

 

Goofy is right at home with his good pal Mickey in my classroom.

Exploding Kittens - Cats Playing Craps

Kevin bought me a wonderful new puzzle for Christmas.

Seeing this puzzle sitting on the table inspired Connor to play some Exploding Kittens with Kevin and me. 

I lost.

Hot Air Balloons Remind Me of Amarillo

Kirk and Ella brought us a puzzle board and a new puzzle for Christmas.

Remember when we went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Amarillo?

Meet My New Penguin Friends

 I would like to introduce you to my newest buddies:

She's from California.

This is Reginald.  He's from California, too.

Penny and Reginald are happy to meet you!

I Love the Stretching Portraits at the Haunted Mansion

The Haunted Mansion is one of my favorite rides at one of my favorite places.  And, the Stretching Portraits are one of my favorite parts.  When I saw this puzzle set at the online Disney Parks Gift Shop, I bought it immediately.  No regrets!

My puzzle and Lex's homeschool sharing a table

So amusing!

Story Map of Ireland Puzzle

After dinner (bangers and mash with a side of cabbage) on St. Patrick's Day, I sat down to watch Riverdance on TV and work on my new puzzle.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Good Luck Bear is super cute.

Connor was in charge of decorating our dessert today.

It kind of ended up with a Minecraft grass block look.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

A New Puzzle

 

It's an Exploding Kittens Puzzle!







It came with a new card that gives the player who built the puzzle an unfair advantage.

This card is mine, until someone else puts this puzzle together.
