The Oh, Hi, This is Elizabeth of Sparkle Stories. And this week is our costume week.

Kostoem. Who doesn't love them? I have always loved them. Granted I'm a theater person and my

family has always loved them. We still have giant costume boxes and so as we're anticipating Halloween later in this month at the end of

this month, we're already getting excited. So I am pulling together at

Sparkle Stories, all of our various stories that include costumes.

And here on the podcast, I am featuring the first story from a collection called Martin

and Sylvia dress up. Martin and Sylvia dress up. So if you are into dressing into costumes and

seeing what that creates for you, this collection is for you're about to

so the story you're about to hear is a part of our giant library of nearly

1,500 original stories at Sparkle Stories.

That is a big old library filled with so much goodness.

Okay, now on to the story, part one,

grown-up costumes from the Martin and Sylvia Dress Up collection.

Enjoy. Mark. Martin and Sylvia live in a tall house with lots of windows.

From their second story loft bedroom, they can see their entire backyard with the tall maple and oak trees on one side and the horse fence that borders the browns farm on the other.

It was a busy time in Martin and Sylvia's house. Brother and sister had recently started their homeschool year by making a map of the year complete with lists and drawings and lines and shapes that connected everything they wanted to learn and do that year.

They also made a plan for extra classes they wanted to take with

Martin taking a Spanish class and a tinkering class and Sylvia wanted to go to a creative movement and theatre class.

They also planned a Thursday Nature School and Gui Wilderness School as well as many big adventures that would happen on the weekends.

Mama and Daddy meanwhile also had a lot happening.
