If At First You Don't Succeed Try, Try Again

I got tired of looking at the dead flowers as I walked out my door every morning. I also got tired of Caiden asking why I killed them, so I thought I would teach my son a lesson about persistence.

My mom came over to help me out around the house a little, as I am becoming quite large and I tire easily. As such, we all made the trek out to Home Depot to pick some new "victims", uh..er...I mean flowers for my flower pot. This time, I got smart!!!

I let Caiden do the picking :) My mom and Caiden picked some really nice flowers, and guess what...so far they're holding on. Remember, the computer problems left me unable to post for a while. This also gave me a chance to see if this would part 2 in the Black thumb drama. But Alas!! It is not so.
Caiden digs a hole for the flowers
Still have that confused look on my face, but Caiden was a good director
Caiden would hand me the flowers to plant
And sometimes planted them himself

Caiden was a great helper, and he enjoyed helping me out...that is, until his friend's came to play...then he was outta there! :)


Caiden breaks up the roots ever-so-carefully
nearly done! Whew!

Don't worry...I saved the receipt, in case these bite the dust too.
