Darn Rodent..

Darn, rodent!  You just had to see your shadow... If I had any faith your actual predictions bringing more winter I would be very depressed right now.

Shhh concentrating

If you are all bundled up inside against the cold here is a fun puppet you can make.
Great quiet time craft and I really needed some quiet time today.  ::brain pop:: This is also a great craft for practicing cutting and gluing skills.  I love watching little kids concentrate.  Their mouths work as hard as their hands do while they cut, as if they are chewing along with the scissors.

You can easily find many patterns for a Groundhog paper bag puppet. (I'll try to get mine uploaded and linked)

It's Groundhog's Day!

Please little groundhog, come out to a nice spring day.  No more winter!! I have had enough.  When a mucous-laden cough spread it's way through my house a few weeks ago I was hating the nasty weather.  As I stand at my children's bus stop every morning, I really despise the cold morning air.  There is no going back to bed once you have gotten that cold.

Then again nasty weather for Las Vegas is mid 40's at night but lots of wind.  It's that biting wind.  Like needles down to your bones, the wind finds it's way into your every layer.  I would love to have snow over freezing winds any day.  Oh the fun day we had building an igloo when we lived in TN.

One of these years we hope to take the whole family on a vacation to Brian Head Resort in Utah.  Play in the snow, use the slops, visit the shops and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.   Growing up in Utah as a child I have many great memories playing in the snow.   I look forward to sharing these experiences with my own kid's.

Are you bundled up inside, waiting for winter to pass?  or are you hoping to enjoy winter's frozen play land a little longer?

 So in case the groundhog missed my plea.. I found this guardian groundhog to help out.
