Here is tonight's dinner menu. Can you guess what it is in honor of?
* Grilled beef with Portuguese Marinade
* Brazilian Style Rice
* Baked Bananas with Rum
* sliced Kiwi fruit
I got the idea
here. Thanks Ms. Clavel
Yes, we are in a "World Cup" mood around here. It's pretty exciting. When I mentioned my
stolen borrowed menu idea to the kids yesterday, before I could get the entire idea out, Sammy said, "Oh no! We're not going to do another folder are we?" Seems he was remembering the Olympics lap book we did this year. (which was fun and informative, btw! Sam's just in summer mode now.) Ethan was all for studying the World Cup, even if it meant another lapbook. I'm sliding into summer mode also. We won't be doing a lapbook, but the menu idea seems fun!
Imagine how surprised Ethan was when he began watching the World Cup games and saw that many of the players were sporting these:
The very cleats we purchased for him 2 weeks ago!! Little did we know! I'm thinking he is hoping it is an omen of things to come:)

Oh, and we're also rooting heavily for these guys. All of us except hubby, who likes the Lakers!!! It gets pretty tricky when a lifelong New England boy refuses to choose the local teams as his favorite. Luckily, our children are learning the right way. Go Celtics!
