Pine Wood Derby

{A} participated in his third Pine Wood Derby last night. He and DH had a fun time designing and cutting the car out. {A} then painted it all by himself. We took the car to the race last night. We had a wonderful time watching him race his buddies!

Believe it or not, {A} won Grand Prize for the Bear Den!! We are so proud of him! It was fun to cheer for him and his car!!

{A} and his friend {C} with their cars. {C}'s car is a coffin complete with hinged lid and skeleton inside. So clever!!

After the races were over, we texted all the family, and they were so supportive to send back fun and encouraging notes to him.

Way to go, {A}!!

cake pops

I made Christmas Tree Cake Pops yesterday. They turned out SO cute, no?? :)

recap

Is this not a super cute pic of {a}? I love this little girl, and I can't believe how cute she is!

so this weekend was DH overnighter with the scouts. Saturday, I knew we HAD to do something. I suggested to the boys that we go to a movie, or the zoo or to g'mas for Wii. Well, I couldn't get the boys to agree on any choice, so we went to g'mas for Wii, park, lunch b-ball game of B. cute--fun to watch her play. then we went to JoAnn's and stocked up on dress patterns for {a} and more fabric. That store is going to be the death of my budget! :) Getting lots of cute fabric, though. I need more stuffing for monsters. Here are the ones I have made so far. I have given one to each of my kiddos and 2 to friends who recently had babies. Can you guess who belongs to whom? :)
