Ramping Up

"Organization is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it’s not all mixed up."

~A. A. Milne

With the kitchen renovations finished (the fourth, and hopefully final, stove was delivered yesterday), and the great basement clean up wrapping up this afternoon, it is time to turn my attention to the coming school year. The books arrived much too early for me to think of opening them. They are currently in a pile in a corner of what will soon be the homeschool room. A silent reminder that the days of summer are quickly passing. New desks for Banana and Bear are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I still have a few books to order, a schedule to finalize, a trip out for basic school supplies, and I am trying to think of creative strategies for keeping two toddlers entertained.

Our summer of family visits, park days, VBS, swimming, and the occasional lazy days is coming to an end much too soon for me.
