Monday the girls and I went to Armstrong Garden Center and picked out some pansies. Tabitha and I planted them that night. For now they look really nice, but since I know next to nothing about this gardening business, I haven't a clue how they will fare. We also bought sunflower seeds which we planted this afternoon. It's our third attempt at sunflowers, so again, we'll see. The only thing we've had luck with are tulips which we bought as bulbs and they bloomed three years in a row which I understand is unusual. We definitely need to plant more stuff from bulbs.

Amazon is having a buy one get one free sale on their games including free shipping, so I ordered a couple to put away for Christmas. I bought a two pack of Pretty Pretty Princess Cinderella and Monopoly Jr. Disney Princess and got Guess Who? Disney as the free one. We actually already have a version of each of these games, but we're suckers for Disney games around here. We have about 5 more on our Christmas list. I think the sale applies to actual Toys R Us too, but with free shipping this was just easier.

Last night was Kids Club at the mall. We went a little early so we could browse the mall but we weren't there to buy, other than Coke at McD's for the game pieces, of course. The craft was decorating a pumpkin and Tabitha's came out cute with a little straw hat. She named it Annie and it is now on display in our living room with all the other decorations.
