Winner Dad~Son project!!! The boys made pinewood derby cars for the big race in Awanas... Cooper is not old enough for Awanas but made one too... and what a surprise he was in for!
step 1~ cut and sand the car... and yes, Christopher LOVES silly bands... he can tell you how many are on his arm any day of the week~ I have to make him take them off some days so that whatever might grow in there dries out;)
step 2~ paint them as original as you can using your best imagination.... we took them to Home Depot to pick out their paint colors... so fun! and they have these little sample jars in hundreds of colors... after much thought we had some beauties!
Nate had to have Ns on his and said the dots were just to make it look cool...
Christopher said he was going to paint his like Van Gogh... his fave artist of course!
Eyeing the competition...
Surprise!!!~ Someone saw Coop with a car ready to go and got him a license to race!!! He was the littlest and cutest racer there and kept up with all the big kids as he sat and watched his car go down the ramp... I melted... and wiped a tear... oh my boys!
AND.... Nate took 4th place out of almost 100 kids!!! Christopher took 7th and Coop was just glad to have raced a few times!!
Chris & the boys already have plans for next years cars!FivE GooD thInGS
