Groundhog Day

Ethan has been waiting for this day for over a week, apparently they learned about it in school last week, and his teacher told them to watch the news early in the morning to see if the groundhog saw his shadow, so this morning he came into the bathroom while I was showering and said "Mom, we have to watch the news to see if the groundhog saw his shadow, and I said, well, I can't right now, so he asked what channel it was on and I told him, so a few minutes later he came running in yelling Mom, I watched the news and it said that the groundhog did see his shadow, and we have to have 6 more weeks of winter! He was excited to go to school today and talk about the groundhog seeing his shadow. They made a little book about him and then made this wonderful groundhog you can see in the picture! And apparently his groundhog is a "superhog"because he is a superhero! He even drew a cape on the back and he has an eye mask over his eyes. What a nut! He is really enjoying school, and he is looking forward to this friday, because they are celebrating the 100th day of school. I can't believe he has been in school that long already! Crazy, how fast time flies, huh?
