Poor Flat Stanley, he thought he was on vacation. He was looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday morning. At 7 am Grandpa wakes him up and says, "Time for a workout!" Stanley really did like standing on the screen where he could yell to Grandpa, "faster, faster."
Sitting on the seat was harder. His legs just wouldn't reach the peddles so he had to settle for riding and providing encouragement.
As if that wasn't enough, when Grandpa went outside to work Stanley was invited along. He helped trim the hedges and get to some of the spots Grandpa couldn't reach. He had to be very careful since the sharp edges could cut off an arm (or head).
The hardest part was stuffing all of the limbs into the trash can. Stanley jumped and jumped and jumped, but just felt like he wasn't pushing hard enough. The limbs kept springing back and dumping Stanley out of the trash can. With a little help from Grandpa he got it done.
Stanley really thought the hard work was over. That is until Grandpa said, "We have to clean the sidewalk off. How about you push the broom." When you are a small guy, pushing the broom is really hard. But Stanley did it.
Boy was Stanley proud of his work. He took all of the credit for getting those bags full.
He also was tired and thought he deserved a nap on Grandpa's favorite old couch.
Stay tuned, after Stanley took his nap he was ready to go and have some fun!
P.S. For those of you counting (Like Grandma), this is Part 2.

I love it! I too have hosted a flat family in our home. He really is a great guy!
How fun. I loved it when Jay's niece sent us flat Sally. It was so much fun taking her all over Chicago. That is so cute that Stanley helped out in the yard.
