From Instagram:Getting things done while he’s distracted by washi tape!

I am a bit in denial that summer is almost over. How can it be August already, with just 3 weeks until the start of our new homeschool year?! For the next two weeks, we’ll be taking it easy with soccer practice, play dates, visits with the grandparents, and nonstop Olympics at home!
What I’m reading: Africa: A Biography of a Continent by John Reader and The Cruelest Month: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel by Louise Penny
