Flat Spencer Visits Sam Moon

Flat Spencer went with Ava to Sam Moon.  Sam Moon is a huge jewelry and handbag store located in Dallas, Texas.  He didn't seem too impressed with the merchandise, but Ava had fun showing him around and he helped her pick out a new wallet and some Valentine earrings.

Flat Spencer, the Actor

While visiting our friend Patrick, Ava and Patrick put on a production of "Jack and the Beanstalk." Flat Spencer had a leading role, and his lines were delivered flawlessly.  Bravo, Flat Spencer!

Flat Spencer Spends the Day at Park Crest Elementary School

Flat Spencer came with me to school, and enjoyed spending some time playing at recess with several of my first grade students.

Record Snowfall!

Coming all the way from Michigan, I'm sure Flat Spencer did not anticipate seeing 12 inches of snow on the ground in Dallas!  This was the most snowfall North Texas has ever received in a 24-hour period.  Flat Spencer and Noah had a ball building Noah's first-ever snowman, and Noah made sure Flat Spencer stayed warm and dry!

 

 

Flat Spencer Helps Haiti

To mark the 100th day of school, the first graders at my school were asked to bring in 100 pennies.  We donated the money collected to the relief efforts in Haiti.   Flat Spencer was invaluable in helping us count how much money we raised - the grand total was $97.00.  He was really worn out after all of that counting and laid down to rest right in the middle of the money!

Bowling Night

Our family went bowling one night, and Flat Spencer tagged along.  Ava was happy to let him bowl a frame, and he knocked down 2 pins.  Not bad for someone who was throwing a ball 100 times his own body weight!

 

 

Flat Spencer at the Galleria Mall

Dallas is known for its shopping!  We have numerous, gigantic shopping malls, and the Galleria is one of them.  The Galleria Dallas is located in the North Dallas Shopping District.  Every Saturday, the Galleria hosts a playtime and story hour, so we decided to meet our friends Emma and Maggie there and took Flat Spencer along.  He really enjoyed the playground, and even got to pose with Monday and Tuesday, the clowns who performed the story hour.
