Marlee Asks Brandon For A Favor

Marlee called in sick yesterday because she is two (2) and didn't want to work. She wasn't really sick. You can't do that when you are a grownup because that lets your co-workers down. They end up having to do your work plus theirs. Well, Charlie ended up being by herself, because two (2) little boys couldn't be found. It looks to me like Sawyer took the day off too. He had decided that since it was such a beautiful day he  decided that he would go hiking in the woods with his family. Grandma Lu's grandchildren love to go hiking with their mom and dad. Remember another one of Marlee's adventures all the beautiful things that they saw in the woods? The birds and squirrels, and rabbits and lots of other little animals love to play in the woods too. Don't forget all of the pretty wildflowers and green leaves on the trees. The only thing you always must remember is to go hiking with an adult and take food for a snack and always a water bottle.

Did you know that our bodies have little messengers inside us? Yup, they run around and tell our blood that we are running and jumping so we need more sugar. If we are relaxing we probably need less sugar. These messengers are very very smart. They know exactly what to do according to what we eat and drink and what activities we are doing. Isn't that interesting? Some people have to take medicine to help our little messengers. Grayson has to take medicine called insulin. So he has to take snacks and water like Sawyer, but he also has to take special snacks and insulin in a special part of his backpack. We need sugar in our bodies to give us energy. So Grayson's mama checks to make sure that he has enough sugar in his body so he can run and jump and play.

Cooper is out on the Marleewood playground playing on the slide. Hmm, that only leaves Charlie. No wonder she called Marlee a little upset. I wonder what the trouble is at Marleewood.
When Marlee and Grandma B walked into Marleewood, they knew immediately why Charlie was upset. There was box after box of supplies that she had ordered for the Christmas shoppers. Those things were not supposed to be here for another two (2) weeks! Now what?
Marlee saw Brandon next door on the T-Ball field. So she hopped in the Ranger and went over to talk to him. She asked him if he would help put away the Christmas supplies that came early. Well Brandon smiled and said, "Sure, if Marleewood will sponsor my T-Ball team. Marlee looked at Grandma B and got a big smile. So now Brandon was part of Marleewood and Marleewood was going to sponsor a T-Ball team. There is another little boy that loves to play too.
Marleewood is such a fun place, isn't it?
Who could resist that smile of Marlee's? When she grins she makes everybody smile, doesn't she?
