How to Make a Palm Cross

Today is Palm Sunday, which means once again I ordered palms branches for all the kids at our church. Also, I gave them the little sheet above to show how to make a cross out of the

long green palms.

Here's Madison holding up a few of the crosses that she and I made this afternoon at the kitchen table. It was a very nice day - we all had a nice peanut butter and jelly sandwich dinner out on the back deck today, which was perfectly relaxing. That was the theme of the day: relaxing.

Okay, at least for Daddy and Madison. Mommy spent much of the day making portions of gladiator costumes for the upcoming AD33 performance. The rest of the week, we'll all be at practice leading up to Easter Sunday (when we all get to take a deep breath). Until then, it'll be lots of time invested in preparation for the big day.
