Adventure with Flat Brandon

Several days ago we received a large envelope in the mail, with a life size drawing of my nephew Brandon. He lives in Euless, Texas and his class just read a book called Flat Stanley. Stanley woke up one morning and found himself to be flat, so he slid under doors and mailed himself to someone. Brandon's 2nd grade class made their own versions of Flat Stanley and mailed them to people they knew and asked them to take their Flat boy or girl around their town and take pictures with them and when we're done send them back with a few souviners.

So I decided to make him his own blog too! If you want to keep up with what Flat Brandon is up to, come visit at: http://www.flatbrandonsjourney.blogspot.com/

Between Flat Brandon, studying, mid-terms, walking, and of course squeezing in a couple of movies and 2 football games, it's been a busy weekend! Mac made one of my favorite things today, chicken and dumplings. Those dumplings are so big and fluffy...made from bisquick. The best! The soup itself has this flavor that is very comforting. Delicious.

Scott came down Saturday, he just got a job up in Richmond. He had some things to do around here, but had friends coming to visit, so he went back to school later Saturday night. We watched Day Night Day Night, which is about the last two nights of this woman's life because she is going to be a suidice bomber. That was a weird one. Very Kimball. Then we watched Don't Say A Word, good movie with Michael Douglas...suspense. We tried to watch the movie about Beatrix Potter, the lady who wrote Peter Rabbit stories, but Mac just couldn't take it. It was slow and a little hokie! We watched the Redskins win today...and of course the Cowboys won too! So life is good at our house.

I'm down 102 now, and you would not believe the pile of clothes I washed this weekend that don't fit. I'm taking them to a consignment shop to see if I can get anything for them. (so I can buy clothes that do fit!)

That's all for now, just busy, busy. Hoping to plan a trip to Texas during our Christmas break this year. I'll leave you with a couple of pics of us with Flat Brandon from today.
