Tea Time and Snow Bubbles

Well here we all sit, together in the house, all working on our own "project". Daughter is finishing homework, while enjoying a cup of tea. Older son is looking through recipe files he received for last years birthday, planning a meal for this week sometime while having a cup of tea. (Admittedly their tea is mostly sugar). Husband on couch on his laptop enjoying a cup of tea, with no sugar with Baby son asleep on his lap. And then there's me, at this blog, typing at the table enjoying my cup of tea. "Green tea - a harmonious blend with lemongrass and spearmint." Yup! I feel the harmony! And yummy tea! When we were on Christmas break from school I promised myself and the kids we'd take time for a tea party. Didn't happen. Well todays the day! It's so very cold out anyways. -23 C before windchill. Real feel is -35 C. Seriously. Which brings me to the next part of this post.

THE BUBBLES!!!! Ever wondered if you can blow bubbles outside when it is freezing? Really, you must try it! The quick answer is, yes you can! But the coolest part is how the bubble "behaves". They freeze, of course. You can pick them up and break, rather than POP them. It was interesting enough that the kids and husband were outside for almost half an hour! Let me know if you try it!

cheers!
