The olympics aren't over yet

Mother/Son Activity at Corbin's school:

As a pair, we really excelled at hockey and some kind of luge race.

Not an official olympic event, but I'm sure Corbin could win something for this feat . . .
 

We also indulged in some nachos and some cookies to celebrate our greatness. 

And though I am always skeptical about school events that I learn about less than a week before, we had fun speed skating (sliding on dish towels), curling (broom and balloons), three legged racing ( not sure which olympic event that was supposed to be) and many other activities.  He had fun, I had fun - it was worth it. 

I have to say though, I think the best part of the night was finishing earlier than I had told the babysitter and sneaking out for fries and shakes.  Corbin is seriously a great date.  We talked and talked.  He made me laugh - like really laugh, not just a mom laughing at kid jokes that have no punchline - like everyone's staring at me because I am almost crying laughing.  He also recounted word for word a story they had read at school and I knew he was a good reader, but he is a great storyteller too!  We had SO much fun.  And I think Corbin liked it because he got "the best shake in the world" (bubblegum and pina colada) on "the best night in the world." 
 
 
I am one lucky mom.
