Crazy bubbles . . .

Have you seen these??  These are no ordinary bubbles. You know the kind you can make with dish soap and water. 

Mackenzie’s violin teacher likes to reward for practicing and other challenges.  She has a chart to color in, looks like a winding road (snake), and at each 20 days she earns a prize.  Then when she reaches 100 days the prize is even bigger and better.  Once she completes 500 days of practicing then she gets a homemade quilt – another hobby of her violin teacher.  I don’t know how she does it – she teaches, plays in the symphony, and makes these beautiful quilts. 

Anyway, Mackenzie had reached another 20 day increment on her chart so she got to pick a prize.  Now, typically the prizes are wrapped and in a tote (a girl one and a boy one) and then Mackenzie reaches in and picks a surPRIZE.  Well, last week her teacher had two prizes to pick from and they weren’t wrapped so she could see her choices.

A furry puppy book mark or a small wand of these touchable bubbles.  Intrigued by the bubbles package she decided to take the bubbles.  YES, you can catch them and they won’t pop, you can pick them up and they won’t pop, you can stack them and they won’t pop – CRAZY!!

Mackenzie decided to blow them in the house and this one rested on our screen door . . .

for hours!!! 

Later that night while we were watching TV, I noticed one on the wall and Jay noticed a couple on a few knick knack shelves.  They DON’T pop forever!! 

I’m not sure what is in them to make them so stable because the package got thrown away before I thought to look/read.  Now when you catch them on your hand or with your fingers and you pull them or pop them they appear to be slimy, but they are NOT slimy.  I don’t know how to explain it. 

They are just crazy cool and weird all at the same time.
