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...

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
