Pinewood Derby time rolled around again! With Charlie's basketball season and Carson's NAL season in full swing, we were running several different directions every weeknight for several weeks there. Chuck set aside time here and there to work with Cade on his Pinewood Derby car, but it got down to the wire, and it still wasn't done. So the morning of weigh in, Chuck and Cade stayed home from school and work and put some hours in on the car. Whatever they did seemed to have worked pretty well because Cade took 3rd place overall! I helped Cade a little with the painting decorating, but I mostly supervised while he did all the artwork himself. He made his car a shark, with gills and teeth, and he wrote "Fear the Shark!" on the top of the car. Even though it wasn't the most professional looking car, it was fun because it was his own design, and his own artwork. Chuck and Cade had a good time working together on the car. Carson was on a campout and missed the race, but Charlie and Cheyanna came along to cheer Cade on. I was so happy for Cade that he did so well. (Now if next year's car bombs, at least he had one good derby!) Chuck's tally: 8 cars down, 1 to go!
