We did our first of, probably, 8 movie nights last night. We're leaving in 8 or 9 weeks (haven't settled on an exact date yet).
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we did the Three Caballeros. I've NEVER seen this movie. I've had it forever, (seriously, my copy is on VHS) and still never seen it. LOL!
I watched it while the kids were in school so I could do a little more than just basic mexican food. I added Burrito, our *winged* pin the tail on the donkey after watching it. I was going to make some sort of Pablo penguin snack but decided we had more than enough snacks.
Dinner was mini beef tacos, chicken taquitos and a Mexican flag of green peppers, cheese and watermelon. To drink I made mock margaritas. They were gross.
Not all that yummy looking stuff on Pinterst is *acutally* yummy.
I made the fans over the table out of scrapbooking paper and the little bit of runner on the table we left over from DDs 3rd Dora birthday party. I made the flowers from some tissue paper.
They may have tasted gross, but at least they looked cool. The glasses were also left overs from DDs party. I had made green jell-o in them for her birthday party... kinda wishing I'd done that again. LOL!!
And, just so you know,
this is the recipe I used. Blech!
For dessert and snacks we had chips and salsa (for Dad), cookie "chips" and fruit dip "gaucamole", sombrero cookies, hot (and not-so-hot) tamales and Mexican wedding cookies. The banner is more tissue paper.
The sombrero cookies are from

The "chips" and "guacamole" are from

Mexican wedding cookies (YUM!!!) are from
here.
While they watched the movie, DD and DS colored the tails for our Pin-the-Tail-on-the-(winged)-Donkey game. I picked the game up at Target and just added some scrapbooking paper wings.
Next week... Aladdin!!
Ole!!
