Groundhog's Day

We were a little sad to hear that the groundhog saw his shadow, although we took it in stride and enjoyed the gorgeous sunny day by going on a walk with Auntie Dana and cousin Daxton! We may have 6 more weeks of winter, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy the swings.

We got this little craft from library story time... I usually do things with Maddie while Ella is sleeping, but Ella is showing interest in coloring and being up at the table with us, so she 'made' one too! She loved it.

The groundhog comes out of his hole...

And gets scared by his shadow so he goes back in!

Last night after I sang to Maddie in bed, she wanted to know what we were going to do tomorrow (a stalling technique). She always wants to go through every step... eat breakfast, watch cartoons, play with the dollhouse (x100, honestly I could go with never hearing that again ;) , eat lunch, read books, take a nap, cook dinner, play with Daddy--at which point she exclaimed, "It's going to get dark AGAIN?" It made me laugh (with Groundhog's Day in mind) that yes, our days are pretty repetitive... almost so much so that they all seem about the same!

C'est la vie, right? And a good life it is.
