Things you do the last day before school starts

- you stress out over the piles of fruits and vegetables in your kitchen because other members of the family got really excited about shopping at Randazzos. And end up making mango/melon/papaya salad just to get rid of some of it

- you shop on amazon for the next birthday coming up. Luckily Luca never reads the blog so I can show a few of the items here:

- you finally get macarons just right after trying quite a few times:

- you take one last dip in the ice cold pool only because it it the last day it is open

- you go shopping for back to school outfits with "camo boy"

- and you do load after load after load of laundry

- and last but not least when you are really exhausted and really want to go to bed you stay up just a bit longer to sit by the bed of the upcoming middle schooler, who does not go to sleep easily tonight❤️
