We have finally been hit by some winter weather! Of course we don't often get much snow so when it comes the town pretty much shuts down. For a week. School was cancelled Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday...today is Monday and we have a two hour delay. We've been trying to avoid killing each other with all this quality time.
There has been sledding. I finally had to shut down the sledding hill when it started to get really icy and I watched Grant miss the edge of the house by inches but still manage to run into the hose at about 25 mph, shattering the watering can that was innocently lying (laying?) in his path.

There has been a date night. Grant and I braved the roads and went to a Mother/Son dance. There was dancing, of course, games, prizes, and a paper airplane flying contest...which Grant won! That was the highlight for Grant. He will tell you his winning strategy in great detail if you ask...or look like you might ask. My favorite part of the evening was when Grant broke out of the uncomfortable-to-be-at-a-dance-with-other-people stage and really started cutting up the floor. He is an AWESOME dancer with all kinds of cool footwork. I died a million ecstatic mom-deaths when he grabbed a hold of me and spun me around in the joy of the moment.

There has been playing in a [clean, unused] garbage can.
