Brandon and I were under the impression that puzzles were supposed to be relaxing...Wrong.
They lied to us!
We decided to open a puzzle box that we have had forever. It had 6 puzzles so we decided on the castle (because that was Brandon's favorite). "We can do this puzzle really fast and then eat dinner" we thought. It didn't look too bad until we noticed that the puzzle pieces had a star pattern on the non picture side of the puzzle. At the time we did not know what this was for...but we soon found out.
The border of the puzzle itself took us multiple hours. And the actual puzzle took us close to a week.-That doesn't include the time when Brandon dropped it and we* had to put it back together haha.
*(Well he got to put it back together and was locked in our room until it was fixed haha)
We even had help...A LOT of help. (From our lovely used to be neighbors Zach and Sabrina)
Turns out the puzzle was made so that multiple pieces could fit into other spots without looking like they were in the wrong place! That is like torture...especially when all the pieces are either black or blue or white.
Sometimes the only way to put it together correctly was by turning the pieces over and connecting them according to their star patterned back. For the longest time we thought we had missing pieces...but it ended up that I had just put them in the wrong place...
1 Week to put it together and 30 seconds to take it apart...yet these things are so addicting
My Mother will be So PROUD!
