Flat Stanley is Visiting

My nephew Hayden Umdenstock (9 years old) sent a letter to Kaitlyn yesterday. As a project for his class, he has to send "Flat Stanley" to someone and they write back and tell him where Flat Stanley has been and what he was doing during a week's timespan. Kind of like a story. I've heard of Flat Stanley but I think it's something that has come about since my girls were little. Anyway, I took Flat Stanley to the hospital with me this morning while I got my mammagram and talked the nurse into having her picture made with Flat Stanley. She was a good sport and went along with it.

Then I took Flat Stanley on to work with me. He helped me type some letters, answer the phones, make some copies and shred some papers. He worked really hard.


If he had shown up last week, he could have gone to Dallas for the OU/TX game, to the U2 concert and to the Star Wars Orchestra concert last night at the Ford Center. Anyway, we're playing along and I can't wait to see where Kaitlyn and Joe take him. Hayden should make a good grade on this!!!

That sounds like a really cute project. I would love to be in the classroom to find out where all the Flat Stanley's have been.
:-) Love, Merry
