Corridor fun

These few days, Hanhan had fun drawing on the corridor with chalks. She insisted on having the chalk when she is suppposed to help me to water some of the plants.

This one she has the caught on the act look, hehehe.
And that's her favourite Barney.
While she was playing with the chalks, I replanted one of the cactus. The main stem was rotted, I must have water too much.... :P I love plant, but I'm never a green finger.
Back into the pot with the others.
This evening I made some bubble solution as seen in Sparkle Power's Homemade Bubble. You just need :

1 gallon water (that's about 3.8l)
2/3 cup dishwashing soap
2-3 tbsp. glycerin

I don't need 1 gallon of bubble solution, so I just use my estimation for the proportion of each ingredient and it takes some try and error to make the solution work. Did try making bubble soloution with just dishwashing soap and water, but it doesn't wok well and it requires much more dishwashing soap than this one. Glad that I found this from Sparkle Power. And if you want to make your own bubble wand and spill-proof bubble container, you can take a look at The Crafty Crow.

Hanhan had fun this evening. Now she had so much bubble solution that she can even wash her hand in it. Of course she ended up getting all wet and soapy.

Gardening

Our little girl is getting bigger and more independent, so I assign her to help out in our little garden.... errr.... not really a garden, we only have a shelf and some pots of plants. Initialy we just poke holes on the cap of a small plastic bottles (that's what we have been using as a watering can), but it doesn't work for her. She doesn't have enough strength to press the bottle, and water just leak out slowly, way too slow. So we got her this from daiso.

It's cute but a little too dull in terms of colour, and I painted it with some colour pens and spray a layer of protective layer. As you can see from the picture, the colours still came off, a failure. Daddy said the surface might be too smooth for the colours to stay on. Guess I should have roughen the surface before I paint it. Anyway, Hanhan still like to use it and called the watering can "Kitty" (the other side is a Hello Kitty).

This pot is planted by Hanhan. I almost forgot that these are planted by her. She did it(of cos with my help lah) about a week before we went to Australia, and I'm glad that it survive without water for so many days. And now she is drowning them with her new watering can. It is phlox, hope to see them bloom.

看上回涵涵在屋外玩泡泡玩得那么开心，我又再次和她到屋外玩泡泡。这回没玩两下子她就屋外的植物感兴趣了。

开始是捡盆里的落花来拔，后来又想拔盆里的小幼苗和玩泥土，但被我阻止了。于时她便转移目标，玩起了插在盆里的瓢虫摆设。看她拿着瓢虫走来走去，插入土里又拔出来，我以为她没法把瓢虫插好就过去帮她，没想到她又把它拔了出来，后来才发现原来她是在挖泥土 心想手不脏也就行了，可过后她乘我没注意时就抓起了一小把泥土玩了起来真是拿她没办法。手都脏了，就让她玩玩吧，多接触大自然也是好的。

该回屋里了，不管我怎么说她就是不要回。我走进屋里想吓吓她，说：“妈妈回家了，要关门了！”她见我在屋里，急得赶快跟了上来。我要牵她入屋里时，她却把我的手推开，过后还帮我关铁门。这小家伙什么时候变得这么爱玩了？？！！家不要回，妈妈也不要了！！

================================================

今天我大胆地让涵涵玩水彩，说大胆是因为早就预料到她一定会玩得很脏，有很多东西要清理，当让过后还要“清理”她。工程这么浩大，老公当然一定要在啦！

刚开始还不错，红黄蓝三色颜色鲜明。

没一会儿，调色盘里只剩下两个颜色。

不管我是在调色盘里放了几个颜色，最终里头总只剩下一个颜色我和老公事先在纸上用白蜡笔画画，想让涵涵看“魔术”，但她一点都不觉惊讶，一定是咱颜料咱得太通入了。
看到涵涵的大花脸了吗？她画完后可没这么脏，但我去一下洗手间回来就变成了这样，原来这是她爸爸的杰作。

泡泡！泡泡！好多泡泡啊！涵涵很喜欢玩泡泡，她最喜欢抓泡泡了。几天前的早上我心血来潮特地带她到附近的商店买泡泡液，下午就让她在走廊上玩。

看Barney VCD时，涵涵会随着里头的大野狼布偶吹气（三只小猪的故事），我就想让她试试吹泡泡，她只是拿着枝条搅泡泡液，但还是玩得很开心。

玩累了，口渴了，想吃雪糕？！她手上拿的可是泡泡液哦！很可爱吧！

玩了许久，看她好像累了便要带她回屋里，可她却被屋外的盆栽吸引住了。小孩子就是有用不完的精力。
