I made a pink caddy with a chauffeur. I think I still have it up in a box somewhere, in case you are ever in need again. <BR/><BR/>But as for my adult life... I'm SOOO glad my boys are not in scouts.

Darn! If there was a dummy car, then why does my eldest boy keep telling my youngest boy that he came in last every race? I think eldest boy was just jealous that he didn't think of doing a Y-wing Star Wars car like youngest did - and oldest boy is out of cubs. Pathetic! I'm glad to see that pink sweatered cheerleader was having fun - she wishes on a weekly basis that she could be a cub scout. She'd kick their pants off!Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505982048644723257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272160714315459088.post-10040031775377393402008-02-26T09:15:00.000-06:002008-02-26T09:15:00.000-06:00Emotions run high at these things.

The first year my little brother did this, his job was to snap the wheels on the cars (Their cub scouts did a family one, so my mom, dad, and him all had cars.) During the first trial run all the wheels popped off all the cars. It was hilarious!

I'm glad we never had the threat of going beyond our own troop if we won the derby.

Our Pinewood Derby is next month, and now Eric is the Cub Scout Master...let's just say there is some major pressure. He has to get the wheels right this time! Nope, he (they?) haven't started on it yet- I will keep you posted as to whether we do a tiny bit better than last year. Yikes! (I love that dummy idea. I think I will bring Landon's last year car as the "dummy" for that very reason!) Good job to McKay and Chase!
