Sand Paper, Paint, and Daddy

Both Blake and Madison made cars for the pinewood derby. I thought that it was a great project for daddy to help the kids with. Brett and I both made and raced cars in the PineWood Derby with our church groups when we were younger. I actually won one year!!!!! I still remember my little purple with sparkles car.

Blake's cub scout den had a meeting in which they cut our their cars. One of the dads had a shop in Paw Paw where he had lots of saws. He cut it out for them after they made their design. That was a great help. We let Madison pick out a pre-cut car from Hobby Lobby.

Next came the sanding... The kids thought it was really hard work. Blake complained that his hand got too hot. We told them to take a break. Brett worked with the kids to get them all sanded down just right. Next came the several coats of paint and then the decals. They worked on the cars for several night getting them just right. Race day was quickly approaching!!!!!
