While Waiting for Flats to Arrive

Here are the ones we mailed out today...

Joe Young & the Mermaid, Ariel

Here are the ones waiting for a host family:

Outback Explorer Bunny, Royalty Merman King & Bessy Bunny Cheerleader

My niece decided to get in on this project, as she visits every weekend & she was very interested. So, she made the girly ones to send out & already had a host family from FL that was so gracious as to take her! YAY!

Making Your Flat Traveler Tips

I am starting a new segment of tips/hints that I receive on making our Flat Travelers to be sturdy, colorful, fun, & travel-worthy!

• For Lamination, take it to an office supply instead of using the Clear Contact Paper, as I did. It is much more sturdy.


• Write your name/address on the back before lamination, so if it gets lost, there is a permanent record of its home address.


• Punch a hole & tie some yarn through, so the receiving child can "wear" it for convenience when "traveling".

DK returning home!

We have had fun with our FT. We played video games together- we played computer games together, too! Here is DK posing with our fish in our big tank.

We will be sending our Flat Traveler, Donkey Kong, home this week. He is from Canada!

We hope to see our Super-Boy soon, too! Hope he has had a great trip!

Schooling with our Flat- DK

Learning to read some new words with DK.
Meet the Robinson's is one of J.'s fav. books!

DK with our books in our collection!

Field Trip to Pet Store

We took a trip to Petco, a local too-big-for-their-britches pet store!

Here are pics of DK w/ Josiah, visiting with the ferrets!

J. called them "devils", I think he was referring

to the Tasmanian Devil, which they ARE related to!

New Idea overheard in our Home today

New idea from soon-to-be 6 year old...

Mail should be delivered to friends by way of "paper airplane" mail !

But, he says, it will only work if they live two houses away!! lol

Sorry we haven't posted lately

Hi Friend!
Sorry we have not posted our activities in a while.
We have been doing little the past few days. It is raining today...
we made leaf mobiles yesterday, from all the beautiful leaves we collected yesterday.

J. is still having fun with DK- he has not forgotten about him, in the least!

Hope you are having fun with Superboy, too!
