Pinewood Derby

The boys worked so hard on their cars. I have to admit it isn't my favorite time of year but it is totally worth it to watch them compete.

Here Mr. Pyle is checking the boys cars to make sure they meet weight and size specifications.



The Track:



Pack 401:



There were about 30 boys competing. The 4 Tiger Cubs compete separately from the rest of the pack.





Just for fun they got to race all 4 cars at once.





There were 13 trophies to give to 4 boys. They really racked them up!





On to the rest of the pack.






With over 30 boys competing it was taking forever! We were there so long we had to feed the kids. So the pack splurged on pizza.

2am and Sleeplessness

I hear every stinking noise in this house. The teeniest tiniest noise even. The bunny downstairs when she nibbles her hay wakes me. The Happy Man and His Dumptruck going up and down the road at 2am wakes me. The heat clicking on and off...wakes me.

Ugh. Must. Get. Sleep.

Bobcat Badge

This badge is required of all Cub Scouts. Jeremiah's Tiger Den worked on theirs together and earned it all at the same time.



The ceremony is a big deal for the scouts. They get their faces painted and stand proud in front of their friends.
