flat stanley

Look who arrived at our house today!

All the way from North Carolina!

{throw your hands up}

Chad brought in the mail just as the girls were settling in for afternoon snack.

Flat Stanley appeared and Charlotte started asking for "guy" ... he's laminated so I handed him to my yogurt-eating two year old ... and started taking pictures (that's normal, right?) ...

 

We had to have a conversation about 

not eating our new friend from afar :)

Natalie was very intrigued by the idea of this little man traveling in an envelope.  She immediately started dreaming up adventures for him and drew him into a {story}picture.  And, yes, tutus and tiaras are typical attire around here!

Special thanks to my former 5th grade student {who is now in college studying to be a teacher} Lindsey for sending Flat Stanley to us in the NW.  First order of business ... make this little guy an umbrella and get a copy of the book from the library - Natalie wants to know his story :)
