Saturday Was Fun

It all started off in the afternoon with Mozart's wedding. A nice service and a nice reception. The couple looked genuinely happy and we were happy for them! Pretty much most of our common friends were there and naturally hugs abounded.

Mozart composed an original song for his bride with a little lyrical help from Jamal. It was really good and I hope they have long and happy lives together! Then after the service but before the reception we had to rush Thing 2 to auditions for her to sing for next year's teen show.

Voice of an angel! I know I blogged a couple of years ago about Alison Krauss and how she sings like I imagined an angel would sing but Thing 2 is right up there! She was nervous and shy and definitely didn't want to go first but she went and got the jitters out. She'll be fine from now on doing auditions with lots of people around.

After that The Date and I headed to the reception where our circle was hanging out and chatting. We arrived and were able to hang out maybe twenty minutes before I had to take The Date home so she could get changed for work.

I headed back to the auditions where I had just missed Thing 2's speaking part audition. However we did stick around for another thirty minutes and watched the rest of the auditionees do their best. Then we came home and Thing 2 put up Christmas decorations and got the house all decked out!

After that it was puzzle time. Many years ago I purchased a BePuzzled mystery puzzle. It was a story and a puzzle. You had to read the story, put the pieces together and the picture on the box wasn't the same as the puzzle. So it's difficult however the problem is that we cant' find all of the edge pieces. There are only three corner pieces and we can't find the forth or anymore edge pieces that have specific color groups on them that will fit.

I believe it's incomplete and we'll probably have to start a different one. The Impossible puzzle proved to be that, too difficult to do. No edge pieces, five extra pieces that go no where, and a different picture than the box. Yeah, too tough right now.

Anyway this is a fun little family thing we've got going on and when you find a piece and put it into place it really makes you feel good. A solid, tangible sense of accomplishment. Yeah, it's a good family time:)
