February was a good month...now lets see if I can remember it! I have been taking pictures of Catherine with some of her creations from preschool so we can see our fridge here and there. She has done some cute things and has loved preschool. For Valentines day we made cute cards for her party with preschool that said "Hoppy Valentine's Day" and had a toy hopping frog on it. It was cute. I can't recall what we did for Elsie I'll have to ask her. Valentines day was fun I made treasure hunts for Elsie, Catherine and Will. They loved following the clues, well the girls did! Will says I make them too hard for him but I like watching him think and search for the clues. It was fun.
Elsie did a research project in December and into January. Then in February they did a wax museum of the people they had chosen. She picked Janice Berenstain the co author and illustrator of the Berenstain Bears books. It was cute and she and her classmates did a great job. Elsie memorized her paragraph she wrote to say when her button was pushed but she was too nervous to not look down!
February 6th would have been my sisters 40th birthday. On the 5th I finally finished the memory quilt I have been working on for 8 years! I love it and it felt good to get it finished. We have been using it in our living room quite a bit even though I did not think we would. I love it it has so many great memories in it! I miss Maude so much but this quilt helps me remember her and all that she loved and did.
The last sort of sad thing that happened in February was Will's sister Julia moved far far away! Across an ocean to be exact! But we are excited for her new adventure and will have visits now and then. We have been video chatting too so that is good too.
