Kindergarten or College?

We are still quite relieved and so thankful Lance got his apprenticeship license! Seriously, many months of praying and fasting, I'm just so grateful! Over the weekend we watched the opening ceremonies to the winter Olympics together while Lance worked on shaping various parts of the face. Let me explain: he's taking a restorative arts class where he learns how to reconstruct the body, mainly the face. His final project is a plastic skull in the resting position that he has to construct a face onto out of really hard clay/wax (reminds me of little kids playing with play dough in kindergarten). And guess who the skull has to look like? Yep, me. A few weeks ago as part of the assignment, he look four pictures of my face from various angles. I had to keep my face in a relaxed pose with my eyes closed and after he printed those out, it gave me a preview as to what I would look like in a casket. Kind of a creeping feeling.

While we were watching the opening ceremonies we both practiced making lips and no offense Sweetie but my lips turned out better than yours. :) Last week he had to practice making noses and I think he's pretty much got those down so I'm anxious to see what his assignments are this week. The ear? Perhaps the eye and eyebrow?
