It was Pinewood Derby day!

My son's last one -- he crosses over to Boy Scouts this spring. We've enjoyed the Pinewood Derby. One year he won 1st place in his division - that was Bears, I believe.

This year, he won Best Original Design!

Check it out. Yes, he had help from dad actually making it, but the idea and design was all his (with a little advice).

Sorry that the photo quality isn't the best. My good camera isn't working right and I had to use my old one.

Nice! That put a smile on my face.

It's Jack!
Wonderful.

darlet #1 passed her road test yesterday - in the Accord with manual transmission. The driving examiner was impressed both because she took the test in a manual, plus she never ground the gears.

Griff · 02-10-2009, 04:30 PM

Congrats! I dunno if I'm ready for drivers...

SonofV made a PowerPoint presentation for me while I worked late tonight.

Love that boy!

I just thought I'd put a little brag in here about my boys (again...sorry).

Mav was elected house captain last week after only being at the school since the start of the year (about 4 weeks ago), and Aden was declared 'Age Champion' at his swimming carnival last week and is today representing his school at the district carnival.

I don't know what I did to deserve such fine young men, but they're a credit to themselves.

eta: Mav being elected house captain caused a bit of strife with some of the old kids who've been at the school for years and Mavs mate Mitch (who happens to have just started at the school too) ended up getting a punch in the nose for it on the bus on the way home. We'll see what the outcome of that is when they get home today. Aden wanted to run off and punch the puncher in the nose to return the favour on Friday, but I didn't think that'd help the situation much so they stayed home and bitched about him instead.

Two personal bests each for my boys at Winter swim championships yesterday, Plus ribbon/points places for my oldest in eveything and a heat winner in the last race to boot, in an event where he was seeded 23rd and cam in 15th (breaststroke). let's see what the girl an do this afternoon -although she already got a personal best in the IM on Friday afternoon at the Middle School Swim Meet. she just ate ten pancakes for breakfast, though, so sinking may be an option
