NS: I had so much fun with the Make a Bubble Pipe
Worksheet that I ran out of bubbles. I suggested to my
daughter that for Mother’s Day I’d like more bubbles.
We spent the afternoon blowing bubbles with the bubble
pipe and other bubble toys that she purchased for me.
Playing was my perfect gift.
MK: We did the bubbles for Mother’s Day. It was so
much fun.

Making a
Bubble Pipe
“I drove my son to school the day of his District Finals
for Track. He was to throw the Discus in the afternoon
event. I realized he looked a bit worried about it and I
was a bit nervous too.I was inspired to go to the store
and purchase a large Bubble sword and liquid bubbles.
I went in the backyard and made large bubbles with the
sword, letting my worries go. I did some bubbles
for myself, him and all the kids at the meet. It
was a wonderful event and he seemed happy with his
throws. After the event he came home with his
girlfriend and found my husband and me in the backyard
doing bubbles. They ended up joining in, it was
such fun as we "let the bubbles float away our worries".

A Little Bit of Introspection
What question would you like to ask me today?
I was surprised at how often I fail to check inside
myself to see what concerns or questions my inner child
has.
