Pinewood Derby












We start with the table of trophies and cars and goodies for the boys. The next picture is of the far side of the track and in that corner on right I made a miniature Pinewood derby for the younger kids to race like their big brothers(they loved it) It also served the purpose of keeping them off the big track!
Next is a picture of two of the cute younger scouts! Then as you can see the picture of where the scouts are suppose to be sitting but half are not there. The last picture is of most of the boys holding their cars from racer Eric Hardin...thank-you Eric and Mikey too!
The night was a great success and I learned alot for my first Pinewood Derby....

more visitors...and snow...lots of snow





















I had a full week last week and that is always a good thing, keeps old grandma happy. My old friend Lynda emailed and asked if she and her two grandkids could sleep over on their way to California to go to Disneyland. I wrote back that I would leave the light on... and I was better than Motel 6, way better. Anyway it was fun. Lynda looks great and her g-kids are cute and nice too. We stayed up all night talking( easy for us to do).
Then for the week-end we had April, her kids, and Janae. Plus all my children & g-kids that live close by. It was fun playing with them, poor Dave had work. The g-kids and I went all over while April got a relaxing day. To me having fun with g-kids is fun, especially playing games and hanging out together.... zig-zag down the road g-ma! Yes we had fun.... Aunt Alli taught us all a new game. Oh and Sunday everyone came, even Joseph for yummy Chicken and Steak Fajitas, it was a Fiesta...
Then after all the kids left it started to snow and snow, bummer Andrew, you missed it.... Then Steve and Lynda came by on the way home and brought cool stuff from Eric & Mikey Hardin for my Cub Scouts. Thanks Mikey!
So now it is the beginning of a new week... I don't like Mondays... but Wednesday night is our Pinewood Derby so I will post some pictures and tell ya' all about it...love you all and thanks for the fun you bring to me....
