You Know It’s Pinewood Derby Time When…

Your kitchen is covered in saw dust.  Your husband is complaining that his hand is tingling from holding the Dremel Tool for hours on end.  Your kids are covered in paint.  And you are purchasing food products… not to eat, but to glue onto a block of wood.
Yes, it is Pinewood Derby time!
Our Pack held it’s annual Pinewood Derby Race this weekend.  Although Ryan and Connor’s cars were NOT FAST, they did LOOK AMAZING!  And as a result, they brought home 2nd for Webelos design and 2nd for design for the Pack (Ryan) and 1st for Wolves design and 3rd  for design for the Pack (Connor).  They’ll both be heading to Districts in March, after which we will share their AWESOME, somewhat edible, designs!

Way to go, boys!
