Adventures of Flat Stanley

Flat Stanley had a great visit and will be heading back to Grant Elementary this week.  Here are the highlights of his visit.

Mikey was the leader at school and took a quick picture with Flat Stanley.

Flat Stanley helped us plant seeds in our little "green houses."  He was here long enough to see our first zucchini sprout!

 He also came to ice skating lessons with us.

He was here to celebrate Easter with us.  He's admiring Mikey's Easter basket.

 

One thing Flat Stanley wasn't too sure about were the crawfish Mikey was eating.

We hope he enjoyed his visit!

Play by Play (as Jon' would say) of the Poncho!

Something for me - a poncho! This was the start where I could begin to see the shape...it was pretty exciting to see I was doing it right!!

The strips were cool...amazing what you can do when you follow a pattern!

Neck shaping...a little confusing at first, but I got the hang of it.

After finishing side #2, I sewed it together and knitted the cowl and Tah dah - done!

Modeling my first big project! Now I guess I have to wait until Fall to wear it :-(

A special hat for a special boy!

I taught myself how to do the stripes for Mikey's bulls eye hat. It was a lot of fun to make and Mikey really likes it! The next hat will be something for Katie...maybe a carrot? :-)

It all started with some baby blankets and little hats...

The baby blankets were fun to knit, but it was time to learn how to knit something that wasn't a rectangle! I think the matching baby hats turned out great!

Mikey's Bowling Party

I had a lot of fun celebrating Mikey's Birthday - especially at the Bowling Party! The kids had a lot of fun and they LOVED Joni's Angry Birds Cookie Cake. (next time...more yellow birds, Joni!)

Angry Birds On Thin Ice?!?! It's my 2nd dream come true!!

Michael turns five!

Michael had a great 5th Birthday. Here are some pictures from his Birthday Celebration with his friends and our little "actual birthday" Birthday Celebration.
