Year 3 – Week 34 – Day 6

It was one of those days where it took hours to wake up my head after my body was already up and busy. I just kept yawning and wishing I could go back to bed. I am feeling apprehensive about tomorrow and the nursing schedules coming up. Brendan entertained me with his bologna games. He thought it was a stylish fashion accessory. 334b17 334b18 334b19 ***Super secret Brendan-to-Kieran message transmission contains hints that smearing greasy bologna in your hair is a good way to get an extra sink bath in the middle of the day***

We actually found a little internet project for kids that was not an over-exaggerated, expertly-staged-for-photos disaster. Bubble snakes!! The boys have been making bubble snakes all week. They are super cheap, super easy, and lots of fun. You take a plain water bottle and cut the bottom off. Wrap it in a piece of terry cloth or something similar, I used a baby wash cloth. I held it on with a hair rubberband. Smear some bubble bath on the rag and then blow through the bottle opening. The more wet the rag is, the more dense and foamy and loose the snake is. The more dry, the bubbles are larger and puffier. We were trying to see how long we could make a snake without it breaking. 33406

  1. Wow, that’s a really long bubble snake! That’s a great idea. I’m not sure that bologna accessories work as well, but as a ploy for an extra sink bath…Brendan might have something there.
    I really hope that your nurse issues are all resolved soon, and in a suitable way. You’ve had enough changes and worries about finding good care for Brendan. It would be nice to settle back into a reliable routine.
    Lots of love and hugs,
