Flat Stanley enjoys Thanksgiving

Hello,

How did you spend Thanksgiving?  I spent Thanksgiving in Seattle with my new friends and my new friend Katie made me a great hat to celebrate and remember the first pilgrim Thanksgiving.

 
Do I look like a Pilgrim?

There was quite a bit of baking and cooking with everyone working together to make pies and food for our Thanksgiving feast.  I helped to make mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.  It was a lot of fun to work with everyone in the kitchen and one of the best parts was getting to taste everything to make sure it was just right.

I sure would like to taste those pies.

 Mmmm...tastes just right.

We brought all of the things we made to our friend's house where they were cooking a turkey.  The turkey takes a long time to cook and has to be kept warm once it is finished. 

 Is that a space turkey?

Once the turkey was ready and everyone had arrived, it was time to serve the turkey and enjoy our feast.


 It looks ready now.

One of the things that I liked best about Thanksgiving was getting to meet so many new friends and work together with everyone to share what we made with each other.  We all had a really great time sharing food and stories about Thanksgiving traditions with each other.

We all had a great time.

After dinner we were finally able to try out some of that really great looking apple pie.  It tasted even better than it looked.  The warm apples inside were my favorite part.

Finally... a taste of the pie!

After all the feasting, I was very full and not so flat anymore.  I needed to lay down and take a nap for a while.  I don't think I could eat like this every day but it sure was fun.

Ohhh...my belly is full.

I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving with your family and friends and were thankful for all the wonderful things that you have in your lives.


Looking forward to leftover pie.

Flat Stanley makes a snow angel

Hello,

It has continued to snow here in Seattle and stay cold enough that the snow is not melting away. That means that there is snow around to play in.


 Check out all this snow.

That is kind of unusual and there is even a chance that today may set a new record for low temperatures.  One thing I learned that is the same about Seattle and Round Rock is that it doesn't snow here very often and when it does, not very many people go to work and kids don't have to go to school.   Since being here in Seattle with all of this snow is so different than being in Texas, I thought that I would try something that I can't do back there...making snow angels. 



It is pretty simple and fun.  First I just flopped into the snow on my back. 
I'm smiling but this is chilly.


Then once I was lying in the snow I just flapped my arms and legs back and forth to move the snow around under me.  I got some snow on my face while I was doing this and it started to melt. Brrrrr. 

 Flap...flap...flap


Then, after all the flapping was over, I carefully got up so that I didn't disturb my angel and presto...Flat Stanley Snow Angel. 


 The snow is cold but it sure is fun.

I don't think this would be a good idea without my coat because it was verrry cold.  If you are going to try this, I think wearing a hat and mittens would be a good idea.  If you don't have any snow you might be able to try this at the beach with sand instead of snow. 


Keep flapping friends.

Flat Stanley reports the weather

Hello,

Just a quick update from Seattle.  I looked outside my window today and guess what I saw...SNOW!!!  I put on my coat and went outside to check it out. I even tried to catch snowflakes on my tongue. 


It is the first snowfall of the season and very pretty.


 They missed my tongue but I caught some on my coat.




If we keep getting more snow I may need to get snowshoes.

Stay warm friends.
