Summer Fun - Bubbles and Caravans

We don't have to go out to have a good time.  Here is a collection of fun things at home.

Bubbles.  Who loves bubbles.  Well these 3 do!  And it was so simple to make.  
  1. A plastic cream bottle with the bottom cut off and a sock pulled over the end. 
  2.  Dip in a bowl of dish liquid mixed with water (2 Tbsp dish liquid to 2 cups of water).  
  3. Blow through the pouring end of the bottle (don't suck back!).  
Viola!  Bubble snakes that float on the breeze!




Because we live in a smaller house and each child shares a room with another sibling, sometimes there is a space issue.  This needn't be a problem though; one just must be creative and resourceful in order to achieve a good result.  Thankfully I am married to a very handy, kind man!  

Our shed was transformed from man-cave/car haven into a one room little girls DREAM!  It was filled with dolls and tea sets and all manner of girlie things.  

But a man needs his car space; so Mr V purchased a very old, run down, in desperate need of repair, bordering on "just dump it" caravan!  With a few screws and pieces of wood for flooring and a lick of paint it came up perfect!
Crystal spent a few hours setting it all up just how she wanted it.  Here she is in the kitchen.
Looking back the other way is the dining table.
The bedroom nook complete with built in dresser drawers.
The wardrobe has shelving for lots of storage.
To complete the dreamy girl area I made a paved garden path.  It now has lots of colourful flowers planted along it.
Great little helpers filling the gaps with dirt.
