Flat Stanley -- California or Bust!

Christian and I finally read Flat Stanley. In the story, Flat Stanley gets mailed to California to visit relatives. Christian knows that we also have relatives in California because we've talked often about going to visit them some day. So, when I suggested we make our own Flat Stanley to mail to our relatives in California his response was, "that's a great idea Mommy!" So, last night we set about creating our very own little traveler.


Red shirt, blue pants, black shoes...

Our finished fellow and our inspiration...



Getting a good nights sleep before his big trip...


Almost packed and ready to go...

Our friendly neighborhood postman.


Very soon Flat Stanley will arrive in Hollywood. He'll be visiting his cousins Jennifer, Peter and Autry. We're sure he'll have a great time and we'll be sure to let you all know how his trip turns out!

I recognize the postman!

My niece sent Flat Stanley to Dominic last year when I was pregnant with the twins. He took him everywhere. We even took him to all the monuments. I could hardly walk, I was so huge but we did it.

Flat Stanley is having a great time here in SoCal! We have many wonderful adventures in store for him. Now you KNOW we're going to have to get one for Autry don't you???

Much love,
Jennifer
