Clearance Sales At Marleewood Cause A Close Disaster

Marlee and A.J. soon forgot about the mysterious disappearance of the blue four wheeler. There were more important things to do. For instance try to keep people from ruining all of the Fall and Thanksgiving things that had not been put away for next year. You see
 Charlie and Marlee had thought it was an excellent idea to go ahead and mark the prices down. That way they figured that they would have room for all that Christmas merchandise they had gotten so early. So they had not done what they had told their Grandmas. Oh oh. Bad idea. When they let all those people in the doors there was pushing and shoving.

Marlee and her friends had started to decorate a Christmas tree. It was almost knocked over with the rush of people. Marlee had a headache! Oh no, this was just not good. She was trying to give one of the babies in the Daycare a bottle and the baby was screaming. Could anything be any worse? Yes it could! Remember poor Ginny?  All those mamas and grandmas had dropped off their children at the Daycare. Oh Ginny! Grandma B's friend, Nikki, was there to help thank goodness. I think that there were other folks there too.
Otherwise, it
would have been a total disaster.
All of a sudden there was a calm  clear voice saying, "Hello there, could we help you guys in the Daycare today? It sure looks like it's busy to us. Wow!"
Without waiting for an answer she said,  "Look, Addison, I think we should go ahead and take care of some of these children, What do you think?"
Addison nodded her head and went into the Daycare room to play with the children. That way they were all busy and having fun. So now Ginny and Nikki, and Grandma Honey, and Addison were all there helping with the children.
Noah was there too. He is a very good brother, isn't he?
Things had settled down at last. The children had all gotten taken care of with some cookies that A.J.'s grandma had sent with him to work that day. She did a good job of decorating them for Christmas, didn't she?
Even though Marleewood had way too many shoppers today, a good thing happened. They sold out of all the Fall and Thanksgiving decorations.
The Christmas things got mushed together and some things fell on the floor. So the Grandmas helped Marlee and Charlie and a lot of their friends. They got everything all hung up on the racks. Marlee, even though she had a headache, did her part too. She is a good worker.
She went into the Daycare and sat down with a cookie and a cup of water to relax. She thought that they had worked hard enough for one day. She told the Grandmas and her friends that it was time to close up shop. They all agreed with her.
While everyone was busy getting ready to close, Marlee looked out the window.
She saw a blur of blue and heard a motor running. She recognized that rider! She went to get her Grandma B. But when they got back to the window, it was gone; once again...
