Pinewood derby – someday!

April 21, 2020

As I mentioned before, the boys worked so hard on their pinewood derby cars and I’m so sad the derby got cancelled…or hopefully just postponed for who knows when! These awesome cars deserve to be raced!!

Meanwhile, Spencer’s progressed nicely…and I might have helped too much but I just can’t help myself. He was pleased!
