hotwheels

i woke up to an excited max standing next to my bed holding out his new hotwheel car for me to see.   his wide eyes told me how thrilled he was.  he said, "this one has golden plates!!"  i looked at the clock and it was not much after 6am.  he disappeared upstairs and i could hear the sound of cars racing down his track.  i think he meant nickle plated axles, but i liked golden plates better.  dave took the boys to spend their hard earned money on some new cars the night before, and they were so excited to wake up and try them out.  they are all trying to defeat dave's car with nickle plated axles that he bought himself so he could get into the action and give the boys some competition. our boys have quite the car collection and they spend a lot of time racing.  dave's car, i believe, is the fastest.  


 the new VW collection

 rainbow sorted
an orange version of the car dave had in high school.  the boys love the story about the first time dave drove me home in high school and the bumper on his yellow VW bug fell off:)
