Eat your heart out

I decided I love Valentine's Day - well, and most holidays. Holidays are just so much more fun with kids. I think its because kids are so easy to please. For Valentine's, anything pink, red, or heart shaped makes the ordinary cool and fun. I'm glad we have these holidays to force me to get over my procrastination of all the supermom things I wish I did all the time. So of course, I had to document our fun with lots of pics, so my kids can't say that I never did anything for them. :) We had a great weekend with lots of pink, red and hearts . . .

Friday night started with homemade heart-shaped pizzas (and can I just say I am really not good at working with pizza dough. It drives me crazy! But the boys didn't care, they thought it was great fun. And it was actually pretty yummy!)

Pink cookies for desert (ie. really easy cake mix cookies with white chocolate chips mixed in)

Valentine's Day morning: heart cutout pancakes and pink donuts that Daddy surprised us with when he got home!

Valentine's dinner: Heart-shaped meatloaf (doesn't look that great, but it was good enough), heart breadsticks, and of course, you can't do Valentine's Day without heart-shaped jello jigglers

The jello was definitely Colton's favorite - and since it kept him happy all through dinner, I gave him all he could eat, which I later regretted when he was spitting up smelly red gunk in the middle of the night.

The best part of the holiday: sharing our love with each other! I love my boys - all four of them!
