The weekend

Saturday we were up bright and early and left the house at 7:30 am. We picked up my friend Dianna and her son Jamie who is a cub scout and her daughter Samantha. Then we met up with the other parents heading over to the Pinewood Derby. Apprently our Stake either doesn't have a track or nobody gets it for our ward to use. As far as I know our scouts have always gone over to the district Derby with out having one in our own ward first. This definetly is not what I grew up doing with my brothers. We got there got registered then proceeded to wait for another hour before anything got started. Very frustrating. The girls were really good and could run around and play, but Ethan didn't feel good and he was a little more difficult. Oh I also forgot to mention that we met Chris at the interstate and he followed us over the rest of the way to Pulaski. Anyway, Noah's car was only weighing in at 3.6 ounces. You have up to 5 ounces. So we borrowed some glue from some other people and glued on another quarter and dime. But that only put him up to 3.9. The boys had made their cars at scouts one night and so we had no help in getting him ready for this. Needless to say he was out after the first round of racing. He lost twice and came in 2nd once. Can you tell which picture that is. The girls had fun watching the cars run down the track. I had to keep pulling them back. We got home about 1 o'clock. It was Noah's first year and after he got over his dissappointment he had fun running around playing with everyone else and cheering for Jamie. He has a tendency to be a sore looser, so he actually did really well with his as he called it "flunked out after the first round". Sunday was the usual and here we are at the start of a new week. Ethan is pretty congested still. He got a blessing on Sunday and is doing a little better. Still blowing snot bubbles out his nose. He has cut his first tooth this weekend. Can't believe he is 8 months already. I guess that is the update for this week.
