He couldn't build a fort outside so he and his dad built one inside. He calls it his ninja fort/hobbit hole and it's quite cozy and stockpiled with weapons. That same day he and his dad built a ninja dummy for practicing moves.
We've been artsy and made pinch pots, painted pottery we didn't make, decorated crowns, and created our own books. We've read books and visited local attractions. We've conducted science experiments (although my volcano needs some work). We've watched movies and played with Legos. And we finally had the chance to go outside and play when the sun came out and warmed things up a bit yesterday.

Easter is on Sunday and I have a fun scavenger hunt planned for him to find his basket of goodies. I have so much fun with Doran on his breaks that I hate to see them end almost as much as he does. Sometimes I wonder if I'm odd in feeling that way, in enjoying being with my child so much, especially when I hear other parents comment on how eager they are to see school resume. That's not to say I never get aggravated with or need a break from my child. I just really enjoy him so much, even in those times.
So it's been a fun break in spite of starting out so cold. Now I can't wait for summer and all the fun things we'll do then!
