Finally we have some good news in the midst of all these winter blizzards… Punxsutawney Phil told the world that he did not see his shadow and we will have an early spring!  Now that is a Groundhog Day worth celebrating! To watch the video of the whole ceremony, click here: http://www.pacast.com/display_media_production_id.asp?production_id=8626  Phil doesn’t make his appearance until 2/3 of the way through, but it’s worth it because he’s so cute!  I love that the town keeps the traditional procession to Gobbler’s Knob alive and even dress the part. They have a great website explaining all things Groundhog Day at…

Apparently in some parts snowpants are known as snow-bibs.  This is apparently because some have the top part that zips up like a vest under your coat?  We always just called them all snowpants… anyway, this year I had one heck of a time finding any kids snowpants anywhere!  I waited until Christmas time and then it was too late.  Everyone seemed to be sold out or only stocking $100+ designer snow wear …crazy!   Finally I managed to track down some camping outlet online that still had some in stock…and they were a good price too.  They turned out…

They say this year will be a record-breaker for snow in New England.  Personally I’m pretty much done with it, but Bobo absolutely loves it.  He is such a snow baby!  Lucky for him we’re supposed to get another foot tomorrow (after 6 inches today!).  That groundhog better give us some good news tomorrow!
