Derby Day

The Pinewood Derby was today. Stockton was so excited for the race this year. He vowed to sand his car one hour a day. He worked hard on his car this year. He even was late to Clayton's birthday party so he could participate. Stockton ended up taking 2nd out of the Webelos. He only lost to the Mauzy boys. Their cars were fast! Stockton actually won Taylor. Taylor won first place over all. He had a pretty great time.

Weston's #13, Stockton's #22

This picture is so funny. They forgot to bring a flag in, so Brother Duce asked Stockton to stand up and be the flag. Stockton stuck out his shoulder so everyone could see the flag. It was cute watching him try to salute the flag.

Jerome was in charge of placing the cars on the track and starting the races. He takes the Pinewood Derby very seriously. He's great.

Below is a video of Stockton winning Taylor. Stockton won 7 of 10 races. Pretty good. Now he is at Clayton's sleeping over. Maysen stayed home with Jorja and Preston. Both were asleep when we got home, although Preston was in Stockton's bed. Guess he missed his brother.

Stockton told me today that he gave Maysen $20. I asked why and he said, "Because she was so nice to give me $5 of her babysitting money and I wanted to help her save up for her laptop." That boy has a heart of gold. I love my children! They are such wonderful examples to me.
