Bubbles & Sand

  The kids love the bubble machine!  I love it because my idea of a bubble bath is not dunking a stick into bubble solution & blowing bubbles everywhere!!  I can just sit & enjoy their laughter & the fact they are totally wearing themselves out!  Those of you that know me know that I HATE DIRT!!  But I know that I am a Mom especially a Mom of 2 boys & dirt will become part of my everyday life!  I also know that a Sandbox is a must have!  Due to the heat, bugs, & animals sitting out in a sandbox in the backyard is NOT going to happen at my house!  So thanks to a great Magazine I found a great fix!  I got 2 bags of sand, dumped them in a container with wheels & called it a sandbox!  The kids love it & I love sitting in the covered garage watching them play!  Best of all I just simply lay down an old sheet, roll out the container of sand & let them go at it!  When they are done I put the lid on slide it to the side of the garage & pick up the sheet & shake out the spilled sand!  This

is how we spend some of our down time here in Texas!
