Sombrero cookies

Everyday the boys and I will be learning about Mexico. Today is a food craft. It's simple just make some sugar cookies then you will put frosting around the rim of it we used lime frosting. Add sprinkles a candy drop for the top now you have a sombrero cookie. It was really messy sprinkles everywhere cats swimming in it. Godzilla really is the demon cat sometimes. He was rolling around in the sprinkles on the kitchen floor licking himself it was insane! We still had a lot of fun cooking.  Christopher and Justin loves to be in the kitchen with me whipping up something new everyday. Justin's day to cook is Friday can't wait to see what he will be cooking to celebrate Mexico. Happy Cinco de Mayo! !

Cinco de Mayo

                       


What is Cinco de Mayo?On Cinco de Mayo, Mexicans remember the Battle of Puebla, fought on May 5, 1862. On that day, Mexicans won an important battle against the French army, which was invading Mexico. September 16, Mexico's Independence Day, is a bigger holiday in most of Mexico than Cinco de Mayo.Cinco de Mayo is surprisingly NOT a national holiday in Mexico, although it's a local holiday in Puebla. Here in the states let face it's just another day for Mexicans to drink!!!! (laughing)


            










 I keep this holiday very much alive more since I have had kids. After all I am a Sexy Mexican! I may have to pull my dress out when we dress up.  I wore the dress in the picture for my Popsicle first birthday. He had a Halloween party I was a Senorita.My boys and I will make some homemade salsa, tacos and guacamole.Thinking about going to the beach if it doesn't rain.  We will then decorate the house make some crafts like maraca's. We can't forget the dancing  the salsa or the Mexican hat dance to a mariachi band. To bad we won't be able to see my famous cousin's sing. They are in a Mariachi band. The kids love this last part hitting a pinata but I don't fill it all with candy. I fill it with money and toys since my boys don't really care too much for candy. To end our fabulous day the hubby and I will drink a Margarita. He likes to sing when he has a little to much. I might just YouTube it this time. Shush don't say anything. If I get it I will post it! (Laughing)

How do you celebrate Cinco De Mayo?
