Annual Fill the Stock Pot to the Top Day

Originally we were going to make our huge pot of taco soup on National Corn Chip Day (because we eat our taco soup with corn chips), Tuesday, but I didn't want to drive in the snow to the stores just to pick up a few missing ingredients.  So instead of celebrating National Corn Chip Day, we celebrated National Puzzle Day.

Yesterday and today we were able to pick up the last few ingredients, so today was the day.

Some people can peaches.  We make a huge batch of taco soup then divide it up and freeze it.  It lasts us about a year until the next January when we can celebrate National Corn Chip Day (or near it) again.

Today, January 31, is also Backwards Day.  Jr. wanted to show before and after pictures of his shirt.
The first picture represents how he looked when he went to school.  The second picture represents how he looked when he came home from school.  Yes, his shirt got turned around sometime during the school day.

The kids helped make brownies so they got to eat dessert first at dinnertime (I don't often make dessert with dinner, but it fit in with the holiday).
And for those of us who like taco soup, it was yummy.
