It’s never pretty, but it’s always fun…
ย
I can guarantee you when you come to my blog that it will never be one of those blogs with beautiful picturesย . . . just the right lighting and clean, well-dressed children.ย Iโm not saying I wish it could be that way . . . I do!ย I love those clean, fresh looking blogs.ย I envy the perfection of those pictures . . . But letโs face it . . . The odds are pretty much against me.ย ย So while itโs not always very pretty. . . I will tell you this much . . . it’s always fun . . . kind of like today!

So, of course, ย I needed to get my clothes pins dyed in anticipation for school and all those self-correcting centers that I use in my classroom. ย I use A LOT of clothes pins, and I’ve been dying clothes pins for years, so this is just an annual tradition of sorts. ย And, wouldn’t you know, I had three little helpers just itching to pitch in and lend a hand.
ย
What the heck? ย How bad could it get, right?
ย
ย
ย
They actually did a great job helping me out. ย Only a little dye on their hands and their clothes were spotless. ย Woohoo!!!
ย
ย
But then someone (ok it was me) got the great idea to make bubble snake makers today. ย I figured my hands were stained all ready, why not. ย My nine year old cut the water bottle bottoms off, slide on some old socks and a rubber band and . . . Ta-Da . . . we were in the bubble business.
ย
ย
We started out with just your basic bubbles, but you know, everything’s better with food coloring, so we added . ย . ย . a little.
I forgot how much fun these little bubble makers could be.
Fun if you’re 5. ย (Make sure you’re wearing your best beads for the event.)
ย
Fun if you’re 7. ย (By the way, bubble snakes are always more fun when wearing your crocodile hat.)
ย
ย
Fun if you’re 9. ย
ย
ย
ย
All and all, a successful diversion from our clothes pin dying job.
ย
ย
ย
And the clothes pins?
ย
I think we did pretty well . . . considering.
