Dinosaur-sized bubbles.

Baby is due in 2 days and honestly, I really thought that I would of been in labour by now. But I'm not, so what do you do when you're waiting for baby? Make 10 foot gigantic bubbles of course. If you know Simon you know he is a creative guy and once he has an idea there is nothing stopping him. So with a trusty YouTube how-to video and a recipe from the internet, we set out to make dinosaur sized bubbles for Natallie. If you're wondering how to make the bubble solution it's just 3 simple ingredients: dish soap (we used Dawn), water and light corn syrup. Then Simon made his bubble blower contraption with 2 ski poles, cotton rope and a weight. The results were AMAZING! Unbelievably huge bubbles that Natallie LOVED!  Just a word of caution that the bubbles are really sticky and don't let the solution get in your eyes. If you are doing this with kids, you should have them wear sunglasses. We learned that the hard way with Natallie sobbing and now she says "bubbles, no eyes, no eyes!" But other than that, it was an spectacular! If you have kids (or not), you should totally try it:








And now some artsy, edited ones:



This is my favourite one:
