The kids are doing a project for their GATES classes where they created Flat Characters (similar to the Flat Stanley stories) called Flat Alesea (she's a vampire) and Flat Knight (he's a knight, obviously). They were instructed to pose them in various places over Labor Day weekend to show what the kids did for their holiday, and will soon be making a trip via mail from Bowmar Elementary to 5 different mailboxes across the country (heads-up to the grandparents, Eli and Addy, Uncle Jamie, Manu, Willow, and Auntie Robyn). Once you receive your Flat Character in the mail, he or she will need to go on an adventure, then write back to tell about it.
Caving and tree climbing, and getting photo-bombed by a barred rock in the coop.
Daddy thought it would be fun to create a volcano out of the giant mound of dirt that still lingers (and is constantly played with) in our yard:
Then it was back inside to rest for a while with books and video games.
The kids are loving GATES this year (and we're loving the open communication about what goes on in that class for once!)
