Our Elder's Quorum had a party and our own pinewood derby races. We bought three cars. My plan was to just have the kids do a car. Tim decided not to do one. That is until we were getting ready to paint. He also wanted to paint. So we took the left over from Emily's car and let Tim paint it. 
The girls had a blast. We had them come up with their own car designs and had the girls sand the cars. Then the girls painted their own cars.
Emily's car did race better than Molly's.Molly did win the most colorful award.
Does her design look familar to anyone??
While we were cutting out our designs, Becky decided that she would like to build one. She took the cut off part of Molly's car to make hers. Luckily some one had bought an extra set of wheels that we could use.I now understand my father's frustrations as it came pinewood derby time. Luckily there were people who helped us with advice and lending of tools to help us out. It should be stated that my car (the black one) got third place.
The kids had a lot of fun racing and watching the races.
