Saved by the Rain!

Well, the girls just thought they were going to get to enjoy their Christmas holidays! There is one huge oak tree on one corner of the house that is nice during the summer, but come Fall & Spring, it does become a chore. Fall - there is the raking of leaves and acorns (we gathered 13 bags of acorns last year and that is just what we could gather). Come Spring, because the soil is so soft in East Texas, the acorns that you didn't gather in the Fall begin growing and you have to go around and pluck them up or they will grow to be just what you don't want anymore of in the yard...OAK TREES!!!

Mallory and Taylor (and their mother) had only been going for about 30 minutes, when the rain began to fall. SAVED!!! Of course, we had to come in. Girls are made of sugar, and they will melt! The girls were just sooo... upset (hear the sarcasm?). Oh well, the leaves will wait for another day.
