Just by the skin of our teeth, we managed to squeeze in a little Groundhog Day lunch between a basketball game, the inaugural baseball practice of the season and supper out with Grandma Juju!  As I’ve discussed in prior years, we unwaveringly subscribe to the weather forecasting skills of our hometown and Southern bred General Beauregard Lee.  Well, call me crazy (or more kindly a wishful thinker), but I swear I heard on the news that he didn’t see his shadow and that spring was on its merry way.  I happily chalked it all out on my board and announced to the littles that we’d breaking out the shorts in no time flat when Sister, Mother and Honey called me out on the mistake.  Lee did in fact see his shadow and has thus predicted six more weeks of winter in the south.  boo.  hiss. The littles dined on groundhog sammies and a variety nuts, berries and “grasses” that make up the rodent’s diet.  Who knew the Groundhog’s Garden book would prove so useful on...

If you’ve spent more than two seconds reading this blog then you know how I loooove a good celebration.  Well, the often overlooked Groundhog Day is no exception!  This year I’ll probably do the same lunch and hot chocolate snack I’ve done the past few years but I thought it would be fun to share in advance in the event that y’all want to join in on the fun with your littles!!

In this household, we exclusively subscribe to the psychic prophecies of our very own hometown groundhog, General Beau Lee, who boasts honorary doctorates (which really says something about the University of Georgia), various other distinctions, and most importantly a 94% accuracy rate (that designer imposter, strangely named "Punxsutawhatever" rodent up North manages barely 85%.)  And while it’s too early yet to know whether today will bring six more weeks of (the mildest ever) woe-be-gone winter or if Spring is on the horizon, sure as the sun I’ve got my fingers crossed for the latter! Like last year , the littles awoke to Groundhog Day hot chocolate.  They couldn’t have been more tickled with this early morning treat!  And since I had all this stuff out and my creative juices were flowing, I threw together a quick little Groundhog Day lunch for the PCP.  Now, I kinda flew by the seat of my pants on these, but here’s how the 2012 version went down… Groundhog Hot C...
