Mysterious running man

Who's
that

mysterious running man?

Alex, wondering why mom has that camera pointed at him, again.

(She's trying to capture his final days as a child.

He turns into one of those despicable teens this weekend)

Today was a power home school day! Alex was working hard on his language arts, math, & history. Ari was at college. Anni worked on theme studies, calendar stories, computer training, and math.

This afternoon, we cooked another pumpkin into puree (only 3 more to go!) and then made potato-leek soup for our special French Bistro dinner. We had the soup along with plethora of whole grain crackers, a 3 cheese plate, sliced tomatoes with cracked pepper, ham and Dijon, and the apple-pear pie we baked yesterday. Ooh-la-la, c'est bon!

We had the final tomatoes of this year's harvest (boo hoo!), but we do still have 2 jars of the sun-dried variety from last year's harvest (yipee!).
