cinco de mayo: part dos

here are the pics from this years celebration. and if you are feeling bad about forgetting about cinco de mayo or didn't celebrate it in true fashion, there is always sies de mayo. (may 6th) (dan woke up this morning and asked what we were doing for the sies de mayo.....uh....nothing.....my back is out from the pinata....j/k!)

p.s. the reason i look like total bum in these pictures is because i made mango salsa.....(yum-o! i know.....suzanne and mango salsa shouldn't go in the same sentence, but its true.) i digress.... i, first off, cannot cut an onion without totally crying and suffering from SEVERE burnage of the eyes SECONDLY, i think i may have gotten mango juice in my eye and my eyes were completely swollen, and i did not feel too great for the celebration. next year, i suppose i will add to my book/list of things i wish i would have known before cinco de mayo: wear goggles when making mango salsa, or eyes may implode and then explode and you will look a mess for your documentary pictures for posterity and all of blog-dom to see.

before: the hope clan with little penelope the parrot pinata.


















after: penelope is dead, and dan is wearing a turban?


















nova trying to break the pinata with her bare hands.























the delicious culprit.........mango salsa of eye burning delight!

A "thanks" as always, for the pictures of Nova. All my kids need to know that a blog isn't complete unless there are pictures of the grandkids. The salsa looks sweet but the baby looks much sweeter!
