Puzzle Soup

So some time ago my son made puzzle soup. He dumped pretty much every jigsaw puzzle we own into the bin and mixed all the pieces together. Lets count:
Ten 24 piece puzzles
Two 100 piece puzzles
Three 49 piece puzzles.

He did it at a time when I could not deal with cleaning it up in a proper manner so I put it all in the bin and put it high and dry. I think it was the day of Calista's first birthday party or some other time when I was having people in my house. We are now spending time together sorting the puzzles. He remembers better than I do which pieces go with what puzzle. Mind you most of the puzzles are boxless because they have been destroyed by Ben the distructobot.

It is a lot of pieces, give or take. I hope that they are all complete. We will not be testing all the puzzles today. But we are going to give a few of them a whirl. I however, am missing one puzzle. It is a Melissa & Doug one that has a wooden tray it sits in. . .I know we have it. It is a 48 piece of an underwater scene with lots of fish. I wanted to do that one with Ben today but it seems to have grown legs or maybe had some help from another adult that lives in this house finding a new home.

Happy puzzling everyone.
