Labor Day Weekend

We had a great time Saturday attending a matinee of Les Miserables in Denver. Jack did good at home with the babysitter. It was finally a fall day, with a high around 70, so Jack was looking good in his sport suit and shoes.

Sunday, we spent running errands and working around the house. Then, today we went to Miller Farms to pick vegetables. And, yes, I carried Jack the entire way. He helped dig potatoes and carrots, pick tomatoes, etc...Boy were my legs tired by the end of the trip.

Mike took a turn holding him on the road back to the car, trying to keep him out of the sun. We came home with carrots, potatoes, red and yellow onions, corn, turnips, pie pumpkins, purple and green cabbage, tomatoes, assorted peppers, celery, and leeks. All of which had to be washed, and the tomatoes pureed and cooked down into sauce, the pumpkins roasted and pureed for pies, and the rest of the veggies bagged up to be worked on later in the week. We'll be freezing and canning most of the week.

At the end of the day, the only one still with energy was Jack. I wish he'd go to sleep, so that we can! He needs to because he hardly napped at all today, but he's struggling to stay awake, as usual.
