I've been blowing bubbles...

Yep, last night I stood outside in sub zero temperatures blowing bubbles. And No, this is not proof that I'm certifiably nuts.

I read on my homeschool e-loop that bubbles do cool things in really freezing temperatures. So, while my children (and dear supportive husband) stood safely inside, I braved the cold to blow bubbles and then watch them explode into a million little icicles. Of course, as all science experiments go, we had issues (besides my numb hands and nose). I had a hard time blowing bubbles the right size & in the right direction so the kids could see the results through the window. There were a few that I managed to get big enough and close enough to the window that the kids could really see them explode. They yelled and cheered and clapped & then I ran inside to regain feeling in my extremities. All those people in warm temperatures just don't know all the fun they're missing :P.
