Living on the Edge

Okay, so we're not really living on the edge around here. There's nothing exactly dangerous or unusual in our daily lives. Well, unless you count water bottles perched precariously on the edge of the table. Yeah, we're edgy like that.
Our weekend was busy but in a normal soccer-mom-kind-of-way. Will started his second season of soccer with the same coach, two friends from last season, and three new friends. We missed practice last week (jet-lag!) but he made it to his first game on Saturday and loved it!
We also took the boys to see King Tut at the MFAH Saturday afternoon. They had been begging to see it since before the exhibit even opened, but once we got there, they were less-than-enthralled. Actually, Will started to enjoy it about 3/4 of the way through and now claims to LOVE King Tut. Henry was not a fan and has decided that we can skip all art museums when we go to Paris (because he is convinced that we are taking him the next time we go!).

Will doesn't normally have homework on the weekend, but all the Vanguard kindergartners are working on big research projects about one state. Will picked Maine (thank goodness because it's an easy state for us to do) and we spent time picking photos, reading up on Maine and writing down our favorite facts (did you know that moose don't have teeth on their upper jaw? Me neither!).
Henry's school is gearing up for a big Children of the World festival, so Henry had homework too! His big project was decorating a puzzle piece from his country of origin. Since his ancestry is very mixed, we picked Portugal. Daddy helped him find lots of pictures.
Final product: my favorite picture is the tank top on the left that says "You bet your linguica I'm Portuguese!"

Edgy? Not so much, unless of course you consider the shirtless, one-sock look edgy. We've got that one covered.
