Madison the Lesser

After school, it was off to the church for a bit of labor putting things together for the big Good Friday service tomorrow at noon.  You can see Madison there at the table, pretty much at the spot our Jesus will be seated.  She marched up there into the frame and posed for this shot, and announced to the church, "God sits here!"

We weren't too late here tonight, as these things tend to go.  This is primarily because we've done this particular illustration a few times at the church.  In fact, we used a photo from last year to promote the service tomorrow.  Here it is:

Daddy went out and bought a bunch of those plants today - of course they're not real.  Mommy put together the costumes and the props, and Daddy also will get some bread for the table.  We coordinated the apostles, and practiced tonight - recreating the scene from the famous Last Supper painting.  Of course, it's not an exact reproduction.  Mommy did make that Jesus costume, trying to get it as close to the one Jesus wears in the painting.  But beyond that, the apostles are all wearing different things than in the painting, and of course they don't resemble the apostles in the painting either.  But the point is made well enough despite these differences - everything is in a giant frame, and everyone freezes at just the right moment to look just like that moment when the apostles all turn to each other asking, "Is it I?"

Madison brought the Kindle with her tonight to keep busy, although we also had a movie plugged in for her to watch as well.  She kept busy enough, although she was up later than usual.  One thing that was nice were the greetings from all the other apostles:  everyone came up to Madison and gave her a big hug.  She's "one of the gang," with everyone here, happy to hang out with the twelve apostles.  We'll call her "Madison the Lesser."
