pinewood derby

 Ohh, it's been a crazy few days.  We've had so much going and so many projects.  R and E have been working on his pinewood derby car, they cut and sanded and soldered.  We painted it black with white stars and had high hopes that this year the car would be fast.

We also had Lu's trash sculpture to build, which we did.
 Anyway we had a poor start finishing last in a number of heats, which led to great discouragement on the part of our boy. 

Then they raced all the cars backwards and his did great.  Oddly enough.  Then he was happy.  (we need to work on losing with dignity)
It was a fun night.

  1. Losing is not easy, and losing with dignity is a great thing to try and teach--Good luck.
