Today is Martin Luther King Jr. day so we had the day off from school.  The kids went crazy playing with the neighbors, especially when I made them homemade bubbles.  Seems to me kids never grow out of blowing bubbles.  Below is my homemade bubble solution recipe, but the coolest part was how creative the kids got in making some blowers.  We have a collection of some small blowers but was that good enough for them?  Oh, now.  So, first they used a piece of this twisty noise making thing, then they used a piece of a broken light saber (why do we have all these broken pieces?).  But then they came and asked me if I could cut the bottom off of a 2 liter bottle and a milk jug.  First the overprotective mom side of me came out and I was worried about them cutting themselves on them, but then the 'let them have fun and stop worrying' side of me took over and I decided to go for it.  It was really cool and they had a blast.  Who would've thought that fun could be so cheap!

Homemade bubble solution:
1/2 c. dish soap
4 1/2 c. water
2 tbsp glycerin (can be found in the baking section of a craft store like Micheals)
