flat stanley

My kids were very excited to recieve a letter in the mail earlier this week. Inside, they discovered "Flat Stanley" sent to them from cousin Kennedy. Stanley has been enjoying his time in our home, reading lots of books, playing Polly Pockets, hanging out with the letters on the magnetic bulletin board, and venturing out and about in Buffalo. Here are a few snapshots from his time here. We'll keep him for one more day, so he can channel his inner cheerleader with Delaney and his inner ballerina with Jillian!

Flat Stanley is the best patron at the library - extremely quiet at a fantastic listener!

Buffalo has many, many painted bison throughout the town. Here are two of our favorites - one painted with the businesses of downtown welcoming guests to our community, and one painted like a fish to represent the two lakes within our town. We have plans to visit a few more of Buffalo's landmarks before Stanley returns to Moorhead!

My mom got Flat Stanley from my cousin's little boy last year! He got his hair cut by her :)

G'ma S thinks Flat Stanley should bring Delaney, Jillian and Elliott back to Moorhead with him!

I agree with Gma S but bring Mom and Dad with you. In another week you can meet your new little cousin.

Wow... I KNEW the Elton house would be the perfect place for Flat Stanley to have an adventure. Thanks so much for taking good care of him. Miss you all,
Love Kennedy

Flat Stanley looks like he is being shown a good time. We just sent Flat Stella back to Luverne. We had a blast with her. I'll have to share her pictures with you -- they are on snapfish. Looks like there are some great readers spending time at the library!
love,
