It has been such a busy week!!! There is so much to catch up on. It was the night of the pinewood derby. We had so much fun tonight as well as while making the cars.
Faith and Abram felt left out. It just so happened that we had 2 extra Pinewood Derby kits to they each made their own cars.
The master at work. See!!! He did make his own car.
Isn't he just so cute!!! He was so intent to make sure every stroke went on just right. The scout leader had some open rounds where anyone could put their car in. The scouts got so excited when Abram raced his car (keep in mind it didn't have any extra weight and was just white with a little purple). His car came in last every time and he would jump up and down saying "YES!!! I won!!" He always thinks he wins.
Daddy taught Faith how to paint while Mommy took pictures. Long even strokes and don't leave blobs of paint on the sides. It's a good thing I'm doing this blog or there probably wouldn't be as many pictures. 
This is Ethyn's car "Lightning". It is blue with glow-in-the-dark (thanks to Aunt Jessie) lightning bolts, edged in gold. It was so fast we couldn't get a good picture of it in action. Alas, he took 2nd place in a runoff as he was tied for 1st. They had to run the two cars 5 times to get a clear winner. They almost had to turn them backwards to see who would win. The irony is that the three kids who took 1st, 2nd and 3rd last year took those places this year too but in a different order.
We had Ethyn's 1st place car from last year 'Old Glory' race with Faith and Abram's car. Faith beat both the boys!!!! That's girl power for ya!! Faith raced the winning car tonight and he won by about an inch. If she had raced more she likely would have won. When 'Old Glory' came out kids who remembered it from last year spoke in hushed tones of how awesome it was. 2 kids came up and asked Ethyn for his autograph. Cub scouts can be so funny.
