Well, exciting day around here! Thanks to you and your sweet Valentines gift my house is sparkling clean. The kids were even looking forward to my gift because I told them they wouldn't have any chores the next day. It feels so nice! Thank you!
We did the usual preschool and friends. I was suppose to make a treat to take to pack meeting. So I tried a new chocolate chip recipe. It turned out great. I know you like my other recipe, but I've been having trouble with them looking flaky. Anyway excited to find another one we like.
And then we also had the pinewood derby.
Carson was so excited. We got there and he was .1 oz over. We wittled some off and then weighted again and he was .2 oz. over. Crazy. So Aaron Bolli drilled quite a few pieces out and it still weighed .2 over. Then Casey Gubler tried to drill some out and accidentally drilled a hole all the way through!
Carson handled it well though. He could have been so upset, I was extremely proud of him.

Then the racing began. They sure have a system worked out for that. No room for parents or kids to get upset. It's all very fair. Really different than when we were in scouts forever ago.

Really different than when we were in scouts forever ago.Carsons first race he(and I) thought he won, until the results came up. He took second. He took second the next race and then third. He was having fun though and wasn't too disappointed. Then the last race he took first! I was so excited. I just wanted him to win once.
This picture is of him when the car is coming down the track that last time. See that fist, he could already tell he was going to win. He was excited. -- and can you see Michael watching in the background. He is such a supportive brother. He was as excited as Carson.

Pretty good, for his first derby.
His car was awarded most innovative. I'm sure he liked that it was a big word.
We came home and crashed into bed.
We came home and crashed into bed. We miss you. Kambree keeps talking about you and saying stuff about what you'll do when you get back, or asking where her dad is - especially when we get into bed at night. And Michael has been collecting a pile of treats for you to have when you get back. They miss you. And so do I.

YEAH!! I'm loving the updates probably as much as Shan.
My kids were SO excited to watch Carson's pinewood derby. Noah's is next month, so he was suppose to be watching the cars that were winning to get some ideas!! :)
