Cinco de Mayo

It all started out last month when I had a craving for tacos. When I was a kid we used to make tacos for dinner. It was always such fun-- almost as much fun as the Chef-Boyardee pizza kits. So I got the ingredients and fixed them up.

I have never, and I mean NEVER had so many compliments. (this hurts my cooking-pride a bit, but there it is) I believe that I heard statements like "best dinner ever", "the best day ever", and my favorite, "we should have these every week... Taco Tuesday!" Needless to say we haven't missed a Tuesday... it is so looked forward to around here.

Well, this week Taco Tuesday fell on May 5th. Cinco de Mayo! Are you kidding me?? And also, May 5th happens to be Pablo's birthday.

Well, I am always up for a reason to have a party, so we did. A Cinco-de-Mayo-Pablo's-Birthday-Taco-Tuesday party. It was yummy and fun.

A quick look to the internet found us a fun fiesta treat. Sombrero Cookies! We altered them and used Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies and Rolos, but they were done just like these from FamilyFun.com.

Maddy's friend Nelson came over to experience our fiesta and he helped Maddy make the cookies.

And a mess.

And in case you were wondering... yes, we did sing to Pablo.

Side Note:

Did any of you ever watch Bewitched? or am I totally dating myself?? Please tell me that you at least watched it in reruns and aren't just thinking of the recent movie with Nicole Kidman... Anyway, do you remember when they switched Darrin? they didn't even tell the audience, or anyone, they just threw a new actor in there?
Well, to those of you paying attention, you might have noticed that Pablo looks just a little bit different than in the picture below when he was first won at the Burger Day Festival. I promised a post on the Perils of Pablo. I never did it. I am sorry.
Pablo didn't enjoy the four-hour car ride back from Oklahoma. He didn't make it. Pablo 2, the sequel, was purchased in Original Pablo's memory. On Cinco de Mayo.
