Since then it became a thing in grammar school for students to send a cutout of Flat Stanley to different cities to get pictures sent back of all the places he traveled. This was on King of the Hill once and Peggy decided to use it as a lesson to stay away from danger, where she basically killed Flat Stanley.

I never had the opportunity to send out my own Flat Stanley until Thanksgiving. Sorry this post is so out-dated, because as you can see it is now December and already snowing! On my blog! How awesome am I!

Where was I? Oh yeah. So holidays at my home consist of mass amounts of cleaning until the second before people arrive. I won’t get into it because it’s a post on its own, but lets just say its brutal.  This year, my sister was conveniently scheduled to work so we had to eat late (and by late I mean 6 instead of 3, which is normal turkey time). I was upset because that meant I had to do twice the work. That is, until I came upon a picture of her.

It’s a picture of her in grammar school holding a volley ball with a closed mouth smile because she had braces. The picture to me looked ridiculous (perhaps due in part to a bit of black wednesday hangover?) and I knew there must be some way to use it to my advantage to make up for her absence. Hence, Flat Sister.  Below is a story of Flat Sister and how she travels around the house cleaning, making friends, and getting ready for Thanksgiving. Enjoy.

The end. (By the way, can you imagine how thrilled my mom was that I was the one that could stay home and clean?)
