Whatever I said about January being warm and gorgeous...forget it. The cold chill of winter has arrived and we are officially hibernating. Just to run from the house to the garage is painful. Loading the car with groceries after shopping is downright torture. brrrrrr!!

This week was all about getting ready for Brennan's Pinewood Derby. He was so excited to race his car and receive his wolf badge. He has been working hard to finish all his achievements to get the coveted badge. His car did great at the race and he placed 2nd for the second year in a row. There were a few tears threatening to spill over not placing first but it was a great opportunity to teach him about sportsmanship.

Trent helped man the bake sale table.


There were a lot of neat cars this year. The boys definitely stepped up their game from last year.

Brennan's first heat...


Brennan's car is that blue/white blur whizzing by. In the first two rounds I believe he only lost one race.




















At the end of round two, Brennan and two other boys had tied for first place and they had to have a race off.




After the 3 cars raced over and over and over again against each other, Brennan came out with 2nd place.
