Pinewood

The dreaded (for me) Pinewood Derby has come and gone again. Our boys were good sports even though their cars were out of the running early on. I loved that this year they used all of the boys' colors on their cars to represent the whole Ricks boy clan. Gabriel even painted some other first initials on his car. Our cars were hand sawed again this year but this time Marc cut them. (Thank you babe!) I dread this event because inevitably certain kids whose dads are really good at this game show up with professional looking cars and win. It's actually a competition for dads. So, I really struggle with that. Anyway, I'm glad my boys have smiles on their faces and love their homespun cars just the way they are.
