Groundhog Day

I hate hate hate winter and was so hoping the groundhog would tell us it's going to be an early spring this year. I guess it depends on which groundhog you believe in.
Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks of winter.

"As I look around me, a bright sky I see, and a shadow beside me. Six more weeks of winter it will be."



But Shubenacadie Sam, the Canadian groundhog, predicted an early spring!



So what do we believe? Well, it seemed like good ol' Shubie was right because we had a beautiful sunny day yesterday after a week of whiteouts. But then we woke up today to another snowstorm, so I guess Punxsy is going to be the correct groundhog this year. =( Even so, we had a great day celebrating our furry friends.

We ate waffles for breakfast with cinnamon sugar on top to look like dirt (the place from which the groundhogs emerge)




Lydia wanted to get in the spirit by dressing like a groundhog. So we let her wear an outfit with animal ears. It kind of works right?





We ate pigs-in-blankets. Pigs are hogs...so groundhogs! Kind of a stretch yes.



And here are our creepy little groundhogs in dirt pie.






So even though there's a ginormous blizzard going on outside, we enjoyed our Groundhog Day!
