Summer Item #3: Bubble Blowing

Yeah crossed another thing off our summer list!! My sister and I decided to spend some of our extra free time blowing bubbles. . .well it was more like having a bubble war!! (Yes, I added blowing bubbles to the list even though we are adults!!!) And we had a blast!

At first we were only able to find 1 regular bottle of bubbles and 1 bottle of those small wedding bubbles. LOL. So we kept switching bottles (the wedding bubble had a small wand and were hard to blow!)



Then we found a bottle of super Miracle bubbles. They didn't blow a lot of bubbles but they blew some really big ones!



What a fun afternoon with my sister acting like little kids and having a blast! Now to get some glow sticks and try the glow in the dark bubbles!!!

June Day in the Life

Just completed another Day in the Life1 I love how in depth this project is, reading back over the daily sheets that I write up, I find that I include a lot of snippets of conversation and pieces of what I was thinking, which is really fun to reread later on. I also love how I write in a much more relaxed conversational tone. . .wish I could learn that technique for my scrapbook pages!!
 There aren't too many pictures as I had a camera malfunction and all my afternoon pics didn't turn out. Plus I worked all evening and wasn't able to get too many shots. Anyway here are some of the photos from yesterday.











By the way I am linking up with Ali Edwards' blog. .. if you haven't checked out her pages you should! She has a very unique way of taking pictures and documenting her story!
