Tonight Jared has Pinewood Derby for Cub Scouts. Richard and I are both good at using fabric, I can do amazing things with frosting, but wood working is not our thing. Jared wanted his car to look like a Creeper from Mindcraft. Richard and I joked that we could just have Jared paint the block of wood and insert wheels. Jared didn't like the idea. His car ended up being a wedge shape that was painted green and square weights that kinda look like the creeper face. I really hope he doesn't take dead last in the race. They have a fundraiser dinner before the race starts with really good food. As a Webelos leader I get do help out selling tickets and handling money. Last year we missed out and didn't attend, because I was in labor with Julia.

The kids are out of school next week for Spring Break. I'm jealous, I wish I could have a week off from work.
I also received this Book and Little Twister ruler from Stacey at StasaLynn in her first giveaway.
Yay! So glad you got it Tanya.... I cannot wait to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that baby is outside with no shoes and socks! LOL She is growing up so fast! Hope Jared's car does/did great! My grandson's didn't go down the track very far. Good luck, Jared!
ReplyDeleteOur son was in scouting and had to build a cub car. We still have the little wooden car upstairs. His did very well- a friend gave him a little metal weight that helped with the counterbalance ( I think) anyway- he placed second. It was an exciting day for him. Our son later went to the European Jamboree in England. Lots of fundraising but he had a great time there.
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting,

Years ago (back when my boys were little) they each chose to race a plain block of wood, instead of shaping and painting their cars. Each time, they won a prize for their 'block of wood' cars. It gave them a 'year off' from designing a car. One boys block car is still upstairs, on a shelf.
