Buckets, Bubbles and Bucks..

I know these pictures are horrible, but they are the only ones I have of Elijah's elusive smile. Aren't they cuuUUte?

Bubbles are the greatest. The problem is, everyone wants to blow them and everyone who takes the bottle outside spills them. Every time. Its a murphy's law thing. When Micah came to me yesterday asking is he could blow bubbles, I kindly told him no, he would have to wait for his sister to help him. After a couple minutes, my conscience told me a good mamma would let their child blow bubbles at the expense of the bubble liquid being spilled. And spill they did. The dog did it. I know there are a gazillion recipes online for bubble liquid so I found one, made a bunch up and we are going to keep lotsa bubbles around for unrestrained blowing fun. Micah liked the idea.

So, I'm out cleaning my dog kennels and I hear a faint "Mooooooom!........... MoooOOOooom!" I ignore it at first, the good mom I am, until I hear it again(never tell the kids I did this, they get in trouble for the same thing!). This time with a little more urgency. I start walking around the yard and hear it is coming from the chicken pen. By then the other children have come to the rescue. Daniel is feeding the rabbits.

We look in the chicken pen to see Daniel sitting in a bucket. Only my Daniel. He said he put the bucket down, was backing up and fell in the bucket. Completely stuck.


What a nut. He was quite embarrassed about this. I asked his permission before posting, he read it, I made a change and he is laughing about it now.

Hey again, Friend, about that album. I got it at Treasury of Memories. It was a bit pricey-$15. I think. But I like the size: SMALL. I have this history with scrapbooking, an ugly one. I do the same thing. Stand. Stare. can't decide what to do or how to do it. I've even checked out books and gotten help. After 3 years, I gave up. I concede that I just don't have an eye for it. And that's fine. One less thing for me to do. So I have the blog that will get made into albums and I do enjoy a mini album every now and then that focuses on a single event. (like the Easter album) I pretty much only use flowers as embellishment. Too many choices make me quite cranky. I'm willing to put in a bit more time with the wifey/hubby album for obvious reasons. But then, again, it will SIMPLE. LIke me. :o) Hugs, friend!
