Mr Potato Head as Baby Jesus
Okay, I know it's a terrible photo, cause I was holding it in one hand while trying to photograph it with the other, but I couldn't resist posting a pic of our "make do" Baby Jesus while playing around with posting pictures. We realized a few minutes before the children's Christmas play at church Wed. night that we had forgotten to have a doll on hand for Mary to hold. I went down to he nursery to find a doll, but there wasn't one. Scott had the idea of using a Mr. Potato Head as the baby's head, and I folded a pillow for the body. We then wrapped the "baby" in a blanket. Unfortunately, we found that whenever we moved it, the head/Mr Potato Head fell out of the blanket onto the floor. Afraid of Baby Jesus' head falling off in the middle of the play, Mako decided to try to tape it to the blanket. Here's a shot of her in the process:
And the really good news is that I figured out how to post more than one pic.
Hmm...I was wondering if you'd mention what you said in the hallway. I bet someone is still trying to figure that one out. ;)
