Pink Week in review

Since I was in college, my cousin Sherry and I have celebrated pink week...we wore either pink, purple or red every day starting Feb. 1-14 (so really, 2 weeks, but pink week was the best name). Anyways, I no longer have 14 pink shirts to choose from, and I thought I'd alter the tradition a little bit because Max only has 1 pink shirt. So, as to not bore you with all the details of OUR pink week...here's a little snippet of what we did! (something pink, or heart-ish every day).
ps...pink is Max's favorite color, as you know, so it was the best week EVER!
we:
-made Valentines for our cousins and Grandparents (heart hands)
-ate pink pancakes (from deceptively delicious cookbook...they were made with beets and ricotta cheese and were sooo good! and such a freaking pretty color!
-Found and roasted the hugest pink marshmallows I have ever seen...they were half the size of a diet coke can...see the comparison above to the mini marshmallows...awesome!
-took a pink tubby
-ate heart strawberries
-sponge-painted our front porch and back patio with pink hearts (sidewalk paint...so fun)
-wore all sorts of cute heart outfits, like Ive's heart tights from someone cute! (Adee)
-made some owl valentines that I've been itching to make
-and homemade oreo kisses for the daddy as a surprise...(made at enrichment last february. I think my friend Jen demonstrated the beauties...here's the recipe)
Happy Valentines day!

You're too cute!

It's weird to think that I used to do some of those super cute things. So many things change as we get older!

We DID make Gram's awesome candy cane valentine suckers, which were a huge hit at school! (and using the word WE is very liberal.... J & L really did them by themselves!)

LOVE the sidewalk paint idea!

Try one of those huge marshmallows in the microwave, we did! Oooo, fun! And my brother tried shoving a couple in his mouth, ouch!
