My Surprise At Your Surprise

Another activity that I took part in was bubble painting. This was where I put paint in a tray and added water. Once this was mixed properly I got the children to use a straw and blow through it to make bubbles.

This is so that they were able to make their own choice on what colour they wanted to use.

Have you ever feared your partner isn’t who they say they are? It tends to be a common fear among women, probably because of the amount of women who have married serial killers and didn’t even know it.
