Pinewood Derby, New Sweater, and the Pool

It's Pinewood Derby time!  Jacob was feeling a little sad because this will be his last year as a Cub Scout.  On to bigger and better things; right? 

This was his car:  Black Lightning.
We didn't place this year but we had a really fun night with all the scouts and their families.


 This is not part of earning a cub scout badge:  armpit farting.  Hee hee!
 Two of Jacob's friends and fellow Webelos, Jace and Ryan.  Jace won the Pinewood Derby this year!

We made a car for Jimmy this year, too.  They always allow the "younger" scouts to compete for fun.

This is just a few of the cars that competed.  The winner was the green car with the white stripe.


Another look at Jimmy's car.  I did the lightning bolts on both cars.  I'm pretty proud of that.


And not to be forgotten:  Christiana in all her loveliness!!!

Grandma Joan knit her a new sweater and sent it to Christie yesterday.  She loves it. 



During the day when we're just home, her favorite thing to do is just explore the back yard.  She's so sweet.  She's a little bit on the timid side of things so she always comes back to the house frequently to "check in," make sure I'm still there and that she's okay to be in the yard.  She's very cautious and worried about whether or not she's permitted to do things.


And last but not least:  The pool awaits our return!
