Wow! What a crazy month!!

I have so much catching up to do...we have three birthdays in the month of February...Virginia Rae the 19th, mine is the 20th, and little bit (Jeremiah's) is the 28th.  I also had several baby gifts to complete before planning the first party.  So.....to catch you up...

Our scout executive and his wife had a baby boy - crocheted a hat for him.
Austin and Keri adopted the sweetest little girl - crocheted a hat for her. (forgot to take a pic. of it!)
A friend from scouts is having twin girls - crocheted two hats for them. (forgot to take a pic of them!)
My best friend from High School had a sweet baby boy - crocheted a coccon, hat and mittens for him.
Virginia Rae needs should have a new dress for her birthday party - crocheted a dress - too big - hanging in the closet for later.
Virginia Rae needs is getting a new dress for her birthday party - which is a Pinkalicious Party  - go through my cloth stash - whip up a dress with matching pants!
Jeremiah needs something new to wear for his birthday party - applique Mickey shirt with matching hat!
Charlotte has a birthday coming - created a new pattern - can't reveal that one yet.

Now with all this getting done, we still have 4th grade and preschool and little bit messing going on!  But somehow, we got all we needed to get done, accomplished.  But then, William gets bronchitis. YUCK!! Virginia Rae gets a cold....yuck!  But with prayer, William starts improving, some, and Virginia Rae's cold gets better.  So the party planning begins...after thinking we had came up with an original idea of our own from Virginia Rae's favorite book, I look on the internet for ideas, and Surprise!  There have been tons of Pinkalicious parties, so I used the help. 

PINKALICIOUS PARTY! 
If you haven't read the book, it is a must!  Especially for girls!  Pinkalicious eats too many pink cupcakes and turns PINK. After going to the doctor, she is told to eat a steady diet of green to return to normal.  She just has to have 1 more cupcake, and turns RED!  Now she eats her green foods, turns normal, only to wake up the next morning and her brother is PINK!!

Our menu was...pink cupcakes, to match the ones in the book, pink popcorn, pink punch, pink finger sandwiches, pickles, broccoli and what else...PINK decorations were everywhere!  Our kitchen looked as if I had spilled Pepto all over it!  But it sure was fun seeing her face when whe saw the cupcakes I had recreated, "Mommy, they are just like the book!"  worth it all!!!  Until, she informs me, an hour before the party, "Mommy, my favorite color is actually PURPLE!" (and yes, she uses the word actually a lot!)
