I’m done with the Craftsters February Crochet Along Squares. Of course, this made me rethink my January squares colors. And, I came to a decision. The Bobby square, I will use in another afghan which will be multicolored but each square will be one color only. Each of the CAL squares will be two colored and one color will be common in all squares. The common color will be white. The other colors are going to be blue, light raspberry, yellow, brown, bright red, green, black, orange, pink, purple, a dark red and maybe country blue.
Here’s the February squares:

It’s hard to believe that we’ve already started the Lenten season. It’s seems like just yesterday that the house was all decorated for Christmas! And then yesterday we were at Ash Wednesday mass.
Alexander got his First grade second quarter progress report yesterday. He’s doing good in school. Academically there were never any issues. The problems have always been following rules, finishing his work on time and the such. It’s not that he’s willfully doing the wrong thing. It’s more like he’s just a little too impulsive and behaves immaturely sometimes. We’ve successfully addressed “following rules” this quarter. In the next quarter we’re going to try and get him to improve on the “completing assignments on time”.
Andrew is growing in leaps and bounds. He’s moving his head around a lot, lifts his upper body. He smiles a lot and laughs too when we tickle him. He’s still a mama’s boy but that is to be expected I guess, since I’m with him almost 24×7.
Aaron is enjoying preschool. They have gym time too which he really likes. I will be enrolling him 3 times a week next year. He’s learning about taking turns and tries to teach Anthony too. He’s now writing his alphabet A- Z and a-z and numbers 1-10. We’re also working on him writing his name.
Anthony is quite the talker. His vocabulary is amazing for a two year old. He picks up things very fast. I guess because he has older brothers. He is also very naughty! Takes after his big brother Alexander in that!
In other news, I finished my first knitting attempt. It’s a 10 X 10 cloth I made that I will be using in an afghan. Here’s a picture
