Cooldude was eager to help with the painting of the mirror ........
And so I started the wall paintings for Miss Tanzi's bedroom.

The start of Tanzi's Bedroom makeover.
I love to be creative ....... it may be to blog, sew, paint, mosaic, or just create new hairstyles in Tanzi's hair but as long as I am making or doing something with my hands ...... I AM VERY HAPPY! At the moment I am doing up Tanzi's bedroom.Thank goodness MrGee was not home tonight, because he wouldn't have been too happy about the painting being done on our dining room table.(Sorreeeeee babes!) But I did need a lot of space! (Forgiven?)
I am happy so far!

Aboriginal Art!
We are learning about Australia in Sonlight Core 5. This week the boys had to do a "Choose Your Adventure" project. CoolDude decided to reproduce a painting done by a well known aboriginal artist.
He loved doing this task and really put a lot of effort into it. I think it's worthy of being framed and hung in his room!

A Place to belong (by WizzKid-13 yrs)
In 8th grade I learnt that high school was not what I thought it would be. My head was filled with dreams, like choosing only my favourite subjects, having all my friends around me and not doing much work.
Well, these last four weeks have been a vicious wake up call. All our subjects are pre-chosen until grade 10. There is an unbelievable amount of work and my friends are all in different classes. These are not the worst parts, many of the boys at the school are just plain disgusting. They talk horrendously about girls and the swearing is unbearable. Coming from a Christian family, I can’t identify with most of them. The ones who have been to church and claim to be Christians, are the ones who have the worst morals! They live like the rest of the world and try to be Christians at the same time. I am struggling to maintain my own morals. I feel that the only thing the boys are interested in doing is bringing each other down.
My attitude will remain positive and I’ll push through. I refuse to live like them. I refuse to live like the world. For in James 4:4 it says “Whoever makes himself a friend of the world, makes himself an enemy of God.”
God wants me here, to be a good influence in this school. So in a way, God has shown me……….A place to belong.
