Puzzles

One of Jolene's favorite things to do is puzzles.

She has quite a collection going, so over the weekend when Raychel was at a

friends we did all her puzzles!! The great big puzzle is two sided. The zoo side has hidden letters and numbers within the zoo picture. It was fun trying to find all the letters and numbers.

Naked Chicken

Last night I was fixing chicken for dinner. Here is the conversation between Raychel and Jolene.
Jolene: What's for dinner?
Mom: Well...
Raychel: Chicken
Jolene: What kind of Chicken?
Mom: It has...
Raychel: Naked Chicken
Jolene: Naked Chicken? Do I like Naked Chicken?
I was sprinkling some lemon pepper on it when Raychel said: No, that's why mom puts stuff on it and cookes it. Nobody likes Naked Chicken.
