My Cinco de Mayo Surprise

I was a little bummed that a must-attend function was scheduled for cinco de mayo at the kids’ school.  After all, a cinco de mayo party on a different day is no longer cinco de mayo!  I do still have a Mexican fiesta planned.  That day my two older girls were at their “school” for homeschoolers . . . → Read More: My Cinco de Mayo Surprise
