Macey's playdate

 Here Macey is having a playdate with Sophia from down the street.

 These girls were doing 'voluntary' Acorn Patrol, which means I do not have to pay them for their work. The boys do Acorn Patrol for a price of 5 puffs per snack baggie filled with Acorn. 50 puffs equal $2, so you can see that I am getting off cheap, but they feel like they are making the big bucks.

 Here is the 5 gallon bucket with the already picked acorns. The season has only just begun! I could be poor before fall is over. Ryan asked where we could sell our acorns. An entrepreneur with bad product! However, if you Arizonans are thinking that acorns are just what you need for a craft project, to decorate with, or for a fun fall lesson, let me know and I'll get you some in the mail.

The girlies drawing with chalk. Sophia and Macey have regular playdates. At the last one S pulled M's hair. I have had to listen to Macey time and again as she recalls this hard time in her young life.
