In the final 20 minutes before dinner, Edward took it upon himself to dive into the puzzle cabinet and complete these three puzzles. It's possible he abandoned his Lego in search of larger objects due to this afternoon's eyewear malfunction. On the playground after school, he came running up saying, "Mom, my glasses frame cracked and the lens fell out!" It was actually a loose screw that loosened the frame, but now it appears the screw is stripped as neither John nor I was able to put it back together.

We didn't make it across town to the eye doctor for the repair because as we were walking home I got a call from the basement waterproofing experts who remedied our damp crawl space when we first moved in. Last night when we got two inches (!) of rain between 9 and 10 p.m. quite a bit of it ended up in the crawl space. John and I wet/dry vac'd it out, but we called this morning for the company to send someone out.

It looks like there's a simple solution that won't cost us anything, as they guaranteed dry forever four years ago and they stand by their work. Hooray for good customer service!
