Yesterday was the Annual Pinewood Derby for Will's Cub Scout pack. Everyone had such a great time.
Kate and Anna entered their cars and won 1st and 3rd place for the Open Division for siblings.
Will's car is the armored Jeep with a machine gun on the back. Oddly enough, it was quite aerodynamic and he won a few races. He ended up placing 2nd in his den and also won Scout's Choice.
As a leader in the pack, Jim doesn't feel comfortable when the children win so many trophies. However, it was their design and they did a lot of work on the cars. It's a good lesson in winning gracefully and not boasting.
So much going on this week. It's supposed to be close to 90 degrees here today, so the kids are having friends over this afternoon to swim and I get to enjoy some time visiting with the moms who are dear friends. Will and Anna have routine dentist appointments tomorrow. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday, a baby shower on Saturday and then it's Mother's Day on Sunday. My mom, sister, sister-in-law and niece will come over to celebrate both Mother's Day and Will's and Dan's birthday.
The baby is happy as can be and doesn't look like he's coming anytime soon. I'm about 3 1/2 wks from my due date. 3 out of my 4 children were early, so I'm expecting and hoping he'll be early too. Ultimately, he'll come when he's ready and it's his time. Since my other 2 boys were born on the same day, May 11th, we're all wondering if this boy will be born on May 11th as well. Wouldn't that be amazing! I think it's a bit early, though. We'll see... Have a great week!
