Can you tell which one is Mark and which one is Kyle? (hint they're the ones without the pony tail or beard)Yesterday, before school you could find us all crowded in our little bath because it was a room that could get very dark. And we NEEDED it to be dark, by darn, so the T's could have their silhouettes done. This is tons more fun than school pictures. (I've never actually been, but I'm sure I'm right- think ye not?) Tape a piece of newsprint, or any paper large enough on the wall. Have your very-tolerant-let's-get-this-done-so-we-can-have-breakfast husband stand (with steady hand, mind you) back with a flash light and shine on paper. Have your very willing victim, I mean subject, stand with his cheek pressed against the wall. Now with your ever-steady-even-steadier-than-your-husband's hand, follow the shadow line of your beautiful childrens face. Now, take it to the nearest photo copy place (my own wonderful printer is no more) and have the knowledgeable lady reduce it to just the size you need. (it cost me 18 cents to do this). Pick up some black cardstock or paper before you go home (another several cents) and cut out the reduced copy. Lay this over your black paper and trace around, cut out the final piece. It's so fun to see how the tiniest lines give a persons profile it's recognizable shape.
When we laid our "identical twins" silhouettes over eachother it was amazing to see how the subtle differences made all the difference. Now I have to find Neil and Anna's when they were squirts to join the Presidents and T's.
