More Flat Stanley Adventures-Part I

I am utterly amazed at Flat Stanley's bravery and unwavering loyalty to our family. Before he went missing several days ago, one of the last places he enjoyed with our family was an outing to the pumpkin patch at Thies Farm in Creve Coeur, MO. Amazingly, he overcame his worst fears and went back to that same pumpkin patch this morning with Luke's preschool class as a field trip. Luke did a great job watching out for his buddy at all times. He is loving this time spent with his "new found" brother...

I will say, however, there was a close call. The blistery wind almost forcefully knocked the "daylights" out of Flat Stanley as he was held in Luke's one hand during a wagon ride. He could have easily been blown away like the surrounding loose hay and dirt that arose from the ground like mini tornadoes. So thankfully, we did not have to call the search and rescue team again...

Later in the day, after things calmed down, I took Flat Stanley to my lovely hairdresser in Chesterfield, MO. Thought maybe she could "spruce up" some of the gray in his hair and see if I could get a haircut myself. Boy, was she excited to get a new client! After she found out that this wasn't any 'ole client but Flat Stanley himself, she said that she would just charge him a "flat" fee : )
