Ready to Race?

Last night we went to our elders corm party. It was pretty fun. We took the kids and they had babysitters in the nursery for us. We got to get to know some people a little bit better as well as eat dinner. After dinner the men had the pinewood derby race. Most of the men waited until last day to make the cars, but they still put quite a bit of effort into it. Spencer on the other hand waited, but was too busy to take time to make it. I really wanted him to be able to race a car so I tried to figure out how to make one. It didn't take me too long to give up. My mom on the other hand had made one before so she was determined to get it done. There was a problem though, we couldn't find her tools. We spent so much time looking for them that we only made one cut on the wood and then we were ready for bed. We decided we were going to try to finish it the next day (the day of the derby). We didn't end up having the time so we just went without it. While we were there the elders corm president told us to just go grab it and put the wheels on it. So my mom ran home and improvised on what we were planning and then brought it back to the church where Spencer put the wheels on and got it finished. He actually didn't do too bad for not taking anytime to do it. He didn't win, but he didn't take last place either. He didn't go home empty handed, he won best paint job (with no paint on it, only tape) and he got a medal. It was a lot of fun and it gave us a nice little date.
