The 2009 Spring Pinewood Derby

Princess Aimee and her "Pink!"

Well, it turns out that there's a REAL REASON the 'Doctor says...NO MORE MONKEY's JUMPIN ON THE BED!!!" Little Aimee Madeleine was jumping on Reilly's bed (the bottom bunk) with her brothers and slipped off the end of the bed and caught her left leg between the mattress and the foot-board. After many tears and 24 hours of "concerned" mommy observance, I took her to get an x-ray and found out she broke her tibia at the very top, under her knee. This is her 2nd WEEK with her 'PINK'...and I thinks she adapting nicely. I no longer have to carry her--she walks with her 'PINK' even runs when she gets the chance....I'm sure sad she broke her little leg, but DARN that little PINK cast is CUTE ;_)

The Pinewood Derby, Part 1

Hunter's 1st "Official Pinewood Derby" is 3/26/09...and lucky me, I get to help him with his derby car! After learning the highly technical and complicated rituals associated with the "Derby", I set out to assist my oldest son with his racing entry. Sort of a 'Scrapbook-Diva-does-derby' experience. The wood block was cut, sanded, whittled and painted. Hunter picked his own design and colors :-) We also weighed the car to the EXACT 5 ounce entrance requirement....Phew....It was delivered into the hands of the Derby Moderator last night....
