over 450 pieces

So Daulton got a Spiderman puzzle for his birthday last year. After much prompting from me to get him to start it, I finally started it myself sometime in November. The three of us finished it rather quickly, and Daulton actually seemed to get some enjoyment out of it, much to his surprise I'm sure.

Chris found our next puzzle on eBay, and it arrived in December. We finally got it out this month. Since it was a used puzzle, I decided to take it upon myself to count the pieces to be sure they were all there. I counted 468, but when I looked at the box I realized it says "over 450 pieces."

So, fingers crossed, we started on the outside edge. We got that done in just one or two days. This photo is of that feat. Oh, and there was one edge piece missing!

It took me a week or so to get going on the inside, which started to seem considerably harder than the outside. I went several days just finding one piece a day. Just recently I finally sat down and got into it. I don't think the boys have touched it at all, but I seem to be on a roll (5 or 6 pieces a sitting?)

I'll have to send puzzle photo updates as progress is made. Maybe we need to bring a new puzzle on each yearly excursion to your place?
