Pinewood Derby - The Race Is On!

The race is on! 24 hours from right now, we will be heading to the church to get the car weighed and measured! Within 24 hours from now I need to make a block of wood look like a car... or whatever my 8 1/2 year old wants it to look like. You might suppose I'm a procrastinator, but I'm not. Yet, here I am...not saying how I truly feel about being the person to help Bear with his car. I was tempted to make him just race the block of wood with wheels on it... I'm still tempted.

My mantra as I chisel and file and chisel and file is: I am thankful my husband has a job, even if he's been working 14 hour days. I'm thankful I have a chisel and file that my husband swung by on his lunch break, and kitchen knife I don't plan on using again. I'm thankful I have a son. I am thankful for Cub Scouts. I am thankful I have always wanted to make a pinewood derby car. I am thankful my mom and dad taught me how to use tools.

The race is on.....
