Flat Stanley Visits Annabel Odom

Annabel was sooo excited to meet Flat Stanley. She immediately took him to meet some new friends... Scentsy Monkey and Monkey Monkey. They all cuddeled up in Annabel's bed and watched a princess  movie. Stanley said it was fun but they were all sleepy and eventually fell alseep together.





The next morning I found Annabel and Stanley wide wake, coloring in the princess tent. After some breakfast and a bath we decided to make Stanley a vest to wear. Annabel was worried he was cold since he was basically naked. Stanley and Annabel worked really hard on the little vest and were so proud of their finished product.





The rest of this day was spent trying on the boys' new football gear, going for a tricycle ride with Annabel, buying some fruit and searching for bananas that weren't super green.









Our last day together was fun too. Stanley and Annabel played in the backyard for hours that day! Blowing bubbles and running around just being a kid. Stanley wanted to float in the pool for a bit and get some sunshine... Annabel was worried he would fall in so she floated with him for awhile too.




Stanley wanted to take a goodbye picture with Annabel before he left the next morning... but Annabel was so sad he was leaving she just kept crying and trying to tear up his envelope. We did give him a big hug and kiss before sending him off to visit Amie and Jordan!!!
We miss you Stanley!!! Hope you are having safe and fun travels elsewhere!!!

FS visits the Haase home in Minnesota!

Flat Stanley arrived with great anticipation from Isaiah and mommy.

He did alot of playing with his new friend and promptly declared that he loved him and we could not send him to his next family.


FS spent time snuggling with us watching movies and resting as we weren't feeling the best and had surgery that following week.

FS helped mommy with the laundry.  Funny...she often has the same look on her face when she's doing laundry.  :0)


FS was with us when Osama BinLaden was killed by Seal Team 6, so we found it fitting that he get a red, white, and blue bracelet made out of parachute cord.
We were sad to see him go, even more sad to see him stuffed in an envelope.
