Marleewood Is Going To Have A Party!

Things were really hopping at Marleewood. Tomorrow was Halloween and they were going to have a party! Parties are so much fun, but it takes a lot of work and a lot of people to have special parties like Halloween because decorations are so important to make it what Grandma Lu calls "festive."
Their friends came to help. Aadon's nana and his aunt even came in costume to help put up decorations for the party at Marleewood. Kenlee and Kylee were still in school, but they would be there for the party.

They had so many decorations! The Community Room just looked wonderful when they were through. They even had a sign for the doors and flower decorations for the tables. One decoration said, "Kid Zone." There were witches and all kinds of fun things to look at. There was a lot of one color. Can you name the color you see the most?




Grandma Lu had more than decorations on her mind though. She told her friend, Grandma B that they had completely forgotten the snacks for the party. About that time Kaysyn and her mama came in with plates full of cookies that Kaysyn had decorated just for the party. She was getting so big. She was excited to go trick or treating so she had her costume on.
Grandma Lu was so happy when she saw all of the cookies and other goodies that folks were bringing in.

Miles had helped carve out his pumpkin and decided that he would put his outside with some others. It was really starting to look like Halloween at Marleewood. He couldn't wait to dress up in his Batman costume for the party and trick or treating.

Bella's mom sent word that they couldn't come this year because they were having company. They were going to have movies outside and even ride horses; in costume, of course.

But in the back of everyone's mind was Marlee. They had heard that she had missed seeing the talent scout.

Marlee heard her mama talking to Lollie. She said that if they were close would they like to stop and see her and aunts and uncles and cousins. They were going to a pumpkin patch too! Well, of course, Marlee wanted to go, but she was really getting tired. Once again she took a nap, but when she woke up she saw her cousins and Lollie and her aunt and uncle. She was ready to have more fun.



No one knew that the talent scout was only an hour away from the farm that she was going to visit on her vacation.
