Theme Thursday: Statues

I have to admit that when I saw Cari's theme this week, 2 thoughts popped immediately into my head:

1) The childhood game, Statue-maker, wherein 1 person (the Statue-maker) takes the hands of each of the other players and whips them around quickly. Whatever pose they land in is their "statue pose", which they must hold until they are the last person standing still.

2) This:
Weeping Angels

Then, after a lengthy eBay search for Weeping Angel statues, I calmed myself down and looked around.

Hey! I have a lot of statues around my house! Many are religious, like this statue of Mary and Jesus that my mom gave me after we lost Fiona:

And, my favorite statue of Mary and Jesus, which I received as a wedding shower gift 2 decades ago:

But, I also have a collection of Willow Tree figurines which I love:
Although, some small peoples in this house reduced the Willow Trees' population a few years ago in a massacre of epic proportions that caused me to cry out dramatically, "WHY?! They're the only nice things I have!".

I'm excited to see the other Theme Thursday posts this week, but until next time....
