Sleepover Yourspace was a blast! Around 15 people came and we ended up watching a movie called ‘Bring It On’ (corny chic flick) because ‘Up’ had a few problems…
Setting it up was HOT! But it was worth it ’cause we all had soo much fun and slept really early!! *cough cough*
We played the wii almost all night and Shakthi flogged at tennis!! After, we sat in a circle and introduced ourselves to everyone else, then some people wrote more things they wanted to see in Newman for a youth centre… Once we did that, it was time to settle down which was around 11:30pm to 12:00am.. We watched ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’ and everyone fell asleep… And of course I, (Kimberly) didn’t sleep until around 3:00 -4:00am because I’m pretty sure I had too much cordial… Hahahahaha!
Thanks to everyone that came to the movie night and the sleepover! We hope you had fun!
