Pinewood Derby

Parker got to do his first Pinewood Derby this week. He was so excited to make his car, and I am proud to announce he did MOST of the work HIMSELF. He wanted a cool Super Mario car so he came up with the idea of a Bullet Bill. His car didn't place anything (which is OK, but he was a little disappointed) but he did win an award for "Toughest Car" that made his day. He was lucky also to have sharing day at school the next day so he got to bring it to show his class.

Here he is with his good buddy Kaden.

There is his cool bullet bill Pinewood Derby.

His car is the middle black blurr. It actually beat another car this round after we put some graphite on the wheels.

With having fun little tinkering boys I thought these guys NEED to dismantle some type of electronic device. Luckily my brother-in-law had an old non-working mac computer. Phil took the back off and let the boys go to town with screw drivers. Simon was content to hold the flash light. Calvin was so intrigued by the whole thing, it was very cute. I guess he has had this at work for a while and when Mason would go with him to work he would do this there also.

This had them entertained a good 45 min.

I just love seeing all their little heads hard at work, and little Calvin staring at me, he is so cute!

What fun these brothers have together.
