Juggle!

Today at the homeschool group in town we had a juggling workshop. One of the parents taught everyone how to make juggling balls, and then how to juggle.

It was a really fun process, filling balloons with rice using a funnel and empty bottle.

Of course, we also managed to spill loads of rice everywhere and make a big, colourful mess.

  5. We have made these balls there so much fun.

    I was wondering, the Lady in the first photo holding the baby her name wouldn't be Oshra by any chance.
    She look like a friend of mine that has moved up to your end of the world she has a little boy called Onyx? It look like him in the picture too, next to her.

    I just had to ask.......:)
