And He's Off!

After some delays in getting his passport finalized and his paperwork in order - Flat Stanley is finally leaving our family. : (

As you can tell by the pic he is in the Outgoing mail and off on his adventure. We drew his first family randomly and it looks like he is headed to Granbury, TX to visit The Kopp Family! Take care of our little guy and check back here often for updates.

Music that Moves You

We are a Christ loving family and we found out today that Stanley loves Christian music.....we caught him rockin' out to the radio in the car today to our favorite station!

Thank You Office Depot for Your $1.36 Laminating Services!

Crossing Our Fingers

I must admit I am a little worried about Stanley's behavior - I mean he is representing our family - while at Office Depot we caught him goofing around on the tower of carts, this could have been very dangerous - thankfully he is okay. But I do want to warn my friends that you do need to keep a close eye on this guy! But I am definitely crossing my fingers that he behaves while he is away.

Getting His Suit Pressed

Stanley wants to look sharp for his trip so we took him down to Office Depot to get pressed!

Cut and Style

Today Stanley got a cut (aka cut out of the cardboard) and style (aka colored in) to get ready for his big adventure.

The Planning Process

I thought alot about how we could make our Flat Stanley durable enough to withstand the US Postal Service. We decided to print up the Flat Stanley template, adhere it to a thin cardboard, and then laminate him to ensure the longest possible life for our little explorer. Here's a picture of Flat Stanley Lovett getting prepped to be "styled" by the kids.
