last night was the pinewood derby.
the night was like a puzzle with lots of pieces and places to be.
i took vivian with me to help set up of the derby while dave helped kai finish up his car. after setting up, vivian and i met sadie for a mandatory basketball meeting at the high school. dave had to work, so he dropped the boys off at the derby, with abe filling in as 'kai's parent'.
when i arrived at the church, the races were over, and awards were being handed out.
kai, max, and abe had everything under control!
happily, they told me how well kai's car did, well, once they got the weight figured out.
they weighed it in and realized it was a little under weight. knowing more weight gave a better advantage, they problem solved and added a spoon:)
i'm sure abe's thirteen year old humor influenced kai when naming it, "the spooner".
last year, kai's car had some holes drilled in it so he won "the most holy" award.
later, kai and abe decided to go for this award a second year in a row and kai's car was then renamed much to abe's delight,
"THE HOLY SPOONER"
why was i not at all surprised when i walked in and saw all the other cars and then
found kai's with a spoon on top?
found kai's with a spoon on top?
this is one reason i love my boys. seriously!
a great demonstration of how witty and resourceful they are....
i did ask them if they knew what spooning meant. they laughed! of course they knew what they were doing.
probably the first pinewood derby car, ever, to have anything to do with a spoon...or spooning.
XOXOXOXO
