Pinewood Derby is a Cuss Word in our Family.... or at least to Scott and I .  Our boys get so excited and we dread the and count down the years until we will not have to participate.  So Scott started this years car with Jo-nathan and came up with a wave design.  It was initially so cool.

Scott may have called me with a plea for me to help Jo-nathan finish the car because work was so crazy.  I must be crazy because I said yes.  I had to find enough weights and attach everything, and grease the wheels and file them?  So his car (with life preservers) came just short of the weight limit, yeah, all wheels stayed on, and the hot glue held the weights until almost the end of the racing.  I was on a time limit too.

So Jo-nathan did not take first.  Max cried because he did not race or something, and I missed the whole racing event for a haircut appointment.  Not bad.

A whole year until the next derby.  Wahoo
