monday april 16..wow times flies

Today was the day to take on ELMER THE ELEPHANT ! Oringinally, I was going to draw him by hand, but one of the officers mentioned that it would be much easier if we just projected the image onto the wall and traced it onto the wood. So Cindy and I went to head quaters to get a overhead and we brought it back to the village. I laughed so hard because Cindy did not think that we needed to put the image onto a tranparency, so she place the image onto the overhead projecter thinking it would work. Brenda, officer Fraser and I were laughing so hard. But I had an idea, we usually tend to keep the pedestrian saftey maps in a sealed plastic cover to keep the maps intact from the rain or snow. Cindy had a few extra so I decided to use this to trace the image of Elmer. I then transfered the image on to the over head projector. It was alot easier for me to do so. Here I am tracing this HUGE elephant on this sheet of wood. It took about 45 minutes to complete the whole drawing, but it looks incredible and Cindy would not stop thanking me!

On the other hand ... I showed Bruce I could juggle he was soo happy !! However I have to teach him how to do a hick dance.. it is going to be a challenge since he falls laughing everytime I so.

paceee out !
