It is that time of year again for the pine wood derby! Not our forte. Josh really doesn't like the whole thing and we really are not equipped with the tools to build a successful car plus it is too cold to be fiddling with this stuff in the garage. The pack usually plans a night where they bring in saws and sander etc. but I thought there might be a problem with that and so when I was at Hobby Lobby and saw kits with the car already cut out I bought them. It is a good thing too because Adam's car was cut wrong at the pack meeting and there were tears. I was able to step in and tell him not to worry because I already had another car for him at home. I felt like a super mom at that moment. We spent part of a snow day getting the cars ready and went off to the races. On the way there I prepped the boys on how to win and how to lose so we were totally ready for anything.
It was pretty official with registration cards and an official weights and measures officer of NJ there to officiate. Adam and Zach raced their cars and got about middle of the results. It was nice they won some and lost some and they were very sportsman like about the results. It was a good experience and I'm really happy that it is over.
