Building the Tomb


The finished frame

Getting the angles right...with the help of the Ipod

Ed's Mathematics

Is that King Tut??? Nope...the body of Jesus!

What a sticky, glue mess

Being Mummified

Glue!!!!

Thinking hard

Jesus is my friend...this is the frame

What it might look like (minus the ice chests!)

A frame like Jesus
Yesterday we got to work on a special presentation for Easter Sunday morning. It was the usual volunteers: Reed, Mom, Me, Dad, Luke, Mr. Jim, & Mr. Ed. We are building a Tomb set for Easter Sunday to go with a song the choir is singing. Inside the tomb will be the body of Jesus with some special stuff going on too! You'll just have to wait and see. In order for us to have a tomb, we needed to build one. So Ed, Jim, Reed, Luke, and Dad set out on that task. It was great hearing measurements given and of course a lot of laughter. Mom and I set out making the body of Jesus. This was a little weird, but his "body" is made of chicken wire, wood, glue, water, and muslin. Hopefully we can get this altogether by Easter! Good times!

Your MOTHER says:

OK...it is NO longer referred to as "chicken wire"....the POLITICALLY CORRECT term for it is POULTRY NETTING!!! OK I didn't believe it either BUT Robert showed me the label and yep...it is now called POULTRY NETTING!!!!

We have so much fun doing this kind of thing - I just don't understand why others don't want to have fun too??? It is TRULY their loss!!!!!!
Love ya! YO MOMMA
