National Taco Day 2012

Boy, we've had a busy day.  Exploring a new to us park, field trip for Nichole so matching lunch for Jr., work, shopping, homework, Parent-Teacher Conferences, dinner, the kids visiting a friend while Jeremy and I went to Round Table for Scouts, bedtime, and now blogging.

Some highlights:

To celebrate National Taco Day, October 4, we had... tacos for dinner.  I didn't know about National Taco Day until my mom and dad gave me a list of October holidays yesterday.  Some we already had on our calendar, but some were new to us

It was fun to see the different ways each member in our family ate tacos.

Jr. Jr. dumped out his filling and ate the shell. 

Nichole ate hers open side first.

Jr. picked the filling out of his to eat it first before the shell.

Jeremy skipped the taco shell and used tortilla chips to have taco salad.

 I ate my taco from the side.

No matter how you eat it, though, it's great to celebrate.
