The BIG GUY is in the building

A couple of weeks ago Bob, Amanda and I set out to make a 9'9 Goliath for the Seminary Building. It's not perfect....but I just had to show him off. We had a blast doing it and almost laughed our heads off a few times because we stink with "artsy" stuff. In fact...just to confirm the assessment...one kid asked me a few days after he'd been up..."Hey....why does he just have hair for his eyes." I told him....because I don't know how to draw eyes! Besides....I think it makes him look meaner. :) Laminating him was a JOKE! We had to cut him in half and then fold the 1/2 parts in 1/2, run him through, then slit it , refold the other way, run him through again, then slit it to open him up, cut him out then tape him back together. What in the world was I thinking???? Am I now in the same class as the relief society ice sculptures?? Ha! Well, with all his flaws....he has sure been a fun accessory to our room. During class, we slung marshmallows at the big guy. He didn't stand a chance!! We are for sure latter day WARRIORS!!!

He's pretty cool looking! This reminds me of when you decorated for the cub scout raingutter regatta! You made that huge boat that went on the wall!! What a hoot. And decorated around the tables to look like and ocean with fishies. You rock at decorating!! I can't believe you went through such effort to laminate. I would have probably just taped it with packing tape! =)

He looks great! You did an awesome job and have lots of patience. With all that work, you deserve the teacher of the year award.
