We have artichokes in our garden. I had no idea! Mark's mom only described then as those "spiky plants" and I was like, "I think my mom grows them." My mom doesn't grow these spiky plants, though.

My nieces and nephew really don't need their DS to have a good time. Just some space to run around and maybe some stuffed animals.

My nephew is kind of scared of my Papa Smurf.
