Since I've been sick in bed for two days,
I decided I needed an excuse to get up and do something productive... Hmmm...
Cinco de Mayo!
Per-fect-o!
Since we have NO ties to Mexico (other than liking to vacation there!),
we decided to Americanize our celebration... Staker-style!
Here's the spread...
Fajitas, please!
... with all the "Fixin's"!
(Pretty, if nothing else!)
and Chips & Mango Salsa... YUM!
Everyone seemed to LOVE them...
Even the littlest critic!
(Um... these are "Ghost-Goggles", by the way...
Yeah, we don't know either... whatever!)
Despite their technical difficulties...
They all cleaned their plates and dug in for more!
And then even got to pig-out on Dessert!
(That's David, by the way... Kade's friend who ate over...)
Then for FHE, we had a quickie "cultural" lesson about Mexico, the History of Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican flag, etc. The boys colored pictures I printed off the internet of Fiestas and Pinatas.
And we ended the evening with a favorite "Mexican-American" game...
What else? UNO!

I love that you played UNO! It is a household favorite for us.
Saw your sweet boys at the ball game last night.
Oh my gosh! That all looks so good!!!
The FOOD looks so dang good--In fact, I think I'll copy that and try to make it for dinner tonight. (I should be making dinner right now, in fact, but NO!! I'm blog-stalking!)
what a fun mom. I should have followed in your lead and done something fun. Next year. Thanks for the fun ideas!
Your spread is too pretty to eat... and by the way, didn't you say you can't cook? He he. You are busted cooking something verrrry tasty-looking :-)
p.s. I swear D. looks older in these picks. Must be because he's 1 now!
Every year I want to do something for Cinco de Mayo, but never do! You've inspired me for next year. Looks like lots of fun and the UNO was so clever! =)
