Josh loved all the army dude pix - he thought they were very neat..... my next project - we're going to take the pix and make an entire story about them - the army dude's advenures.

Make a little scrapbook on it, the whole nine yards.....

I know; I'm a day(s) late and a dollar short for this, but.....

At our kids' school, as part of the social studies/map reading lab, they read the book "Flat Stanley". Based on that, the kids make a body about the size of an adults hand, and paste their picture on the body. Then, they sent "Flat Child" to someone, preferably away from our state. The person/family do exactly what we are talking about doing with Army Dudy, then after about 3 weeks, send everything back into the class. It's really neat to see the map in the hallway get filled up with the items & where they came from. In most cases, the 'Flats' arrive back with postcards, a letter & some pictures of "Flat" around town.

With my oldest, we sent it to my sister's in WA. She sent back a one page letter, and a pic with "Flat" on the deck with the kids, in the snow (well, snow were they live was exciting LOL). This year, for my youngest child, we sent it to a friend in Ontario, Canada. Friend is crafty and I thought she'd be perfect to send back some really cute pics. OMG! This girl had never done scrapbooking before and thought this would be a fun time to learn. The scrap book she sent back was amazing and there was a little bit of everything in this book. It still sits on my coffee table, it's so cool.

After seeing that, I'm sad that I live too close to Army Dude to really add to it; Maybe after everyone who's playing returns their items, I can sneak a peek at the goodies and Army Dudes CO will give me a chance to play too

......Spokane Airport. That would be a blast for all of us to see each other's houses and haunts. ........
.....Tell Josh to pack Army Dudes bags.

I noticed your town, Jo, and the mention of the Spokane Airport. How far are you from St. Maries?

Aww...wouldn't that be cute if he arrived with a little Army duffle over his shoulder?? LOL

The Flat Stanley thing is a project that Josh did, too, last year - it's kinda where all this is springing from... He got to send 'flat' to his grandfather in Steven's Point - not so glamorous, I know, but Grandpa had a fantastic time with the paper guy, and Josh still has the whole story that he wrote.

I think its great that you still have your 'flats' scrapbook on the table, so to speak... and I can certainly arrange some time for the AD to come visit with you and your girls - Josh would be tickled to see the girls play and pose with his dude....

Steven's Point can be glamorous! Better than South Milwaukee LOL I bet Grandpa made it seem so!! (I was going to say Disney, but is there anything better than Disney to a kid?)

Guess we could take AD down to the farm and take his pick up in the hay, down at the creek & in the new gocart hubby saw along side of the road - if he ever gets it running LOL

Mirgirl-I'm in the tippy top of Idaho. 30 miles from Canada. Never been to St. Maries and wasn't even sure where it was since I've only been here 3 years, LOL. Looked on mapquest and I'm pretty far from it. Had heard of it, just didn't know where it was. Looks like around a 6 hour drive.

PS-It would still be fun for you to host AD, Mirgirl. I'm sure Josh would love to have his AD on the farm. I think we should have him go to as many places as we can. Josh will love it!

Absolutely - that would be great - and don't forget having the AD pose with your girls - Josh would love that, too!

Josh and Mlr's girls met when we did - we had a family meeting type thing - he and the girls hit it off well (a mutual love of all things Star Wars - hehehe)

Thought he might like a picture of his AD with his buds..



Why, what did YOU have in mind (as if I didn't already know...hehehe)

 

[Idahojo]

I sure wish I had a smilie of a gutter, cuz I would put Bite's mind there. LOL

Shame, shame, shame! (In the words of Gomer Pyle)
He's a little boy!
