Planting Flowers

My parents brought us some beautiful mums for our front landscaping which definitely needs some help - the builder picked all the landscaping before we purchased the house. We decided the mums would look better in pots on the porch, so we all went to Home Depot and bought some pots Cal and I had seen the day before. Caroline is always such a big help. Surprisingly, she kept all the dirt in the pot.

The finished product - it really adds some color.

We also bought a grill Labor Day weekend for Cal's Father's Day from last year (2008). I'm not sure what took us so long. For our first meal, we had hamburgers and grilled corn. I really like the easy clean up when you use a grill!

That same night we gave Caroline a tricycle (with a parent push handle) that I bought at a consignment sale for $4. She loves it! We'll probably upgrade it for her birthday or Christmas, but for $4 we can live with how ugly it looks for a few months.

Caroline hanging out on her Elmo potty. She loves to sit on it - usually with her diaper on - but she does actually use it for the intended purpose once in a while.
