Don’t Burst My Bubble
Friday, February 18th, 2011My plan worked! Or at least, I’m going to pretend is was my genius idea on Wednesday that lead to our current thaw and the chance to play out on the porch yesterday. Thank God for that porch y’all, because the yard is still 80% snow but the other 20% is mud and even though I’m trying to keep up my good attitude regarding my housekeeping responsibilities it would be madness to encourage a toddler and a dog to play in the dirt and then run through the house. MADNESS I TELL YOU.
We took advantage of the 50+ degree weather to try out Little Evan’s new bubble machine. I asked Twitter for suggestions and although everyone agreed the cheap kind tend to break down after a lot of use I only need it to work until the beginning of April, so for $11 I’m willing to buy another if need be.
Because really, this much fun is totally worth ten times that much.

- Don’t even try to tell me that child needs a haircut. I’ll cut YOU.

- I splurged for the fancy bubble solution (still only $3.99 for a giant jug) but I think it would work just as well with the homemade kind.
We hid this car on the porch for the winter and now it's like having a BRAND NEW TOY. Brilliant.

Portrait of a child who knows a cage when he sees it...even if it is full of bubbles.
I think the Navy should install bubble machines on all their submarines. It would certainly make them more fun. Doesn't E look like he's having fun?
Ok, now for a vote. Which picture do you think I should use on Little Evan’s birthday invitations?
#1 - Smiling child
OR
#2 - Amazed at the bubbles child
Either way it has to be cropped so the proportions are opposite – portrait instead of landscape – so his face and the bubbles around his face are the most important part. I can’t decide which one I like. I AM, however, getting super duper excited about the party. It’s not going to be *quite* as epic as last year’s circus party but still pretty fun.
