Cinco de Mayo & A Bucket Full of Brownies

Monday was Cinco de Mayo so Harper, Emma & I

ate lunch at "Garcia's" (Harper didn't have school).

Tuesday was Teacher Appreciation Day so we made a

bucket full of yummy brownies (recipe will follow)

I didn't make my famous "Outrageous Brownies" because I didn't have enough time but these were very good!
