Flat Stanley

Carter's class is participating in the Flat Stanley Project. (Flat Stanly is a children's literature character who is smooshed by a bulletin board. The cool thing about being flattened is that he can travel through the mail. The class made their own "Flat Stanley" and created a journal. They wrote things about their family and where they lived and were ask to take their Flat Stanley on an outing and take a picture. The Stanleys will be mailed to various points across the US and Canada and may even visit former President Jimmy Carter! Since it is a geography lesson of sorts, we decided to take Carter & Stanley to the highest point in Alabama. Here are some pictures...

Easter 2009

Our special visitor....

Do I have a story to tell you! Last night Hunter ask if he could go out to the van and look for his Nintendo DS. I let him go and then made sure he locked the door as he came in. This morning, as I stepped outside to take some things to the car before we left for school/work, I noticed the sliding door on the van was wide open. I started griping to the boys "Good grief, now the battery is going to be dead....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" They came running out the door to find an "American Bulldog" curled up in Carter's seat. After I got my wits about me, I sent them back in and tried to talk the dog out of the car. Then I tried to entice him out with a hot dog. He just stared at me.

When I got really agressive he started quivering his lip like he was going to growl at me. He was scared of me and I of him. All the while, I was documenting th...
