Derby Day

Today I learned if you put a bunch of cub scouts in a gym with a track and their amazingly crafted cars FUN  is to be had and lots of it!

The science behind racing small wooden derby cars is pretty specific and well beyond my brain.  Thanks to UTube and the internet my husband and son scoured to create the speediest car they could!

Today was our Pinewood Derby.  It was a great day of fun and good sportsmanship.   I am so proud of everyone!

Manly issues

Today I learned how to tie a neck tie!

I spent the day tying it and retying it around...the school principal claimed to think it was some kind of new fashion trend. Imagine anyone using my name and fashion trend in the same sentence? Clearly he doesn't know me well!

Then I spent the evening with my Cub Scout den learning all about how to tie different knots. So cool, the boys were very excited and did an amazing job with all of the tasks. They were as proud as I was.

How many knots can you tie?
