Sydney Trip - Winter Magic Festival

Each Tuesday night at church we have an activity for youth 12-18 yr olds.

They all had flour bombs to throw at each other  Twist 3.  The leaders all stood in the middle throwing food at them.  The reaction of the youth when they got hit with spaghetti when they thought that we only had flour.  Haha.

My glasses girls. We now have two princesses in glasses and they look just so cute.   We picked up Miss Poppy's glasses last Thursday night. She has to wear them all the time.

She replied "good mum I was heaps smarter today" How easy would life be if we could be instantly smarter if we just got a new pair of Specs.
