DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
I have a slight obsession over Groundhog Day. Not really sure why, but it's my first favorite holiday of the year ;) (it IS the first holiday of the year by the way, minus MLK Day) I was reminding people in my classes at school all week last week that Monday was going to be Groundhog Day!! I was soo excited!So, yesterday morning on the way to school, we heard that Punxsutawney Phil (the famous weather-predicting groundhog) saw his shadow, which means...6 more weeks of Winter. Sorry to disappoint some of you with that news, but we ALWAYS have 6 more weeks of Winter, regardless of whether Phil sees his shadow or not.
After school, D & I decided to enjoy some Groundhog Day festivities. We watched/listened to the movie Groundhog Day while we made Groundhog Day treats* (see picture below). I have to say that I really do like the movie, Groundhog Day, with Bill Murray in it. I'll be the first to tell you that I am NOT a Bill Murray fan, but I absolutely love this one movie that he's in.
I have officially made a goal to someday travel to Punxsutawney, PA to participate in the REAL Groundhog Day festivities. I think it would be awesome!! I told D we can wait to do it until he retires...being a school teacher makes it difficult to travel in the winter, if ya know what I mean.
We hope you all had as great of a G-hog Day as we did!!
*We took the Pilgrim Hat treat idea we used for Thanksgiving and altered it to make cute little Groundhog treats....we might need to make some adjustments for next year :)

Super cute groundhogs!! You are so creative, I love it.
How fun! Those little treats are so cute! I love that you celebrate obscure holidays--we do too! We didn't do Groundhog's Day, but we celebrate April Fools Day & Talk Like a Pirate Day. Now that I've seen your ideas, I think we'll have to celebrate this one next year.
