Keeping Busy

Samuel and Joshua participated in the Pinewood Derby this past Saturday. It was Samuel's first and Joshua's last, so it was an exciting day for both of them!
We had a wobbly start! Joshua's car was dropped as they were putting it up for his first race, then it jumped the track several times before dad got the the wheels fine tuned.
Joshua advanced to District finals, which upset Samuel because his car actually beat Joshua's, but you advance by den and Samuel wasn't in the top two cars in his den.

Following the derby, we headed straight to Samuel's swim meet. He did great, bringing home 4 first place ribbons and one personal best time!

It was a good thing he had such a great weekend, because Samuel spent Monday home with Strep! Four members of my family have now had the dreaded disease and it looks like they are all coming down with it about a week apart. So frustrating! If Chris hadn't been travelling, I seriously would have considered taking myself, Savannah and Joshua and moving out till they all get better and sanitize the house!

Hey, we're working on our pineood derbys now! Dave gets so into it (as does every Dad). If Chris has any tips, let me know. Their cars look great!
