Today was Bayley's first Pinewood Derby. I never did these when I was a kid so this was a first for both of us. Bayley picked out the design and idea for the car and Dad got carried away with painting it. For the record, I did let him paint the left eye on the skull. I had to rely on google to learn how to build it, and from what I read I was really nervous his car would not win one race. There is so much you can do to make a car faster, And I definitely put form before function. But he did really good. Our ward has adopted the "everyone is a winner" policy, (lame) so there were no 1st, 2nd, or 3rd places. Out of about 12 races, Bayley won 4, lost 2 and finished 2nd in the rest, so he was very happy and I was relieved I didnt make my son a loser car.




Abbey slept on my shoulder through most of the race, She woke a little bit on the grumpy side and was not happy till she found the red punch and cookies.
