Bubble Fun

With the weather warming up there is no better place to be than outside playing. On this day, I had actually made homemade bubbles with my class at school, to which they had a blast. I decided I'd bring the project home and let Maddie give it a try. We also used fly swatters as our bubble wand and got some great bubbles from it. Homemade Bubble Solution:1 cups water1/2 cup liquid soap (Dove)2 tsp sugar

First you dip...

then you swat...

the bubbles appear...

and then so do the neighbor kids. :)
This is a really fun and quick activity. It involves great measurement skills, letter recognition, and fine/gross motor development, as well as peer interaction. As a side note, though, we did use more liquid soap that what was called for and the sugar definitely makes things a bit sticky, especially when the bubbles start popping on you.
Enjoy the sun, fun and bubbles!!

Mud Run: You Are So Mine Come 2012

Chattanooga just recently hosted the 2011 Mud Run where runners enjoy a gentle 5k through mud and muck. I've wanted to run this race for the last couple of years but due to school and now pregnancy I've missed out but I have high hopes for next year. :)
I can't wait to hit that cool sludge, soaking myself through and through as I trudge along to the finish line. What an accomplishment! I'm not sure there can be anything like it: challenging the hills, the climbs, and the mud!!! Check out the past pics and visualize your treck! It's gonna be a blast!!
