So the boys
SCOUT Troop hosted a
Space Derby!! This is what their Space Ships started out as...a block of wood with a hole in the middle! Actually, two halves, which I first glued together!
I don't even know how long it took me to
Shave and
Sand it! You can see that the Potato Peeler idea just wasn't "cutting" it, so I had to pull out the big guns...my handy dandy Pampered Chef self sharpening knife!!! That sucker worked like a charm!!!
When the
boys got home from school, they did they final sanding on their ships and then came the fun part...
Painting them!!!
Brant named his "Turd". Not the most polite of names, but under the circumstances, it was kind of fitting! I thought
Turd turned out awesome! He did a great job!
Jacob knew from the start what he wanted...a
Shark...with Teeth! He was so excited about this, that the night before, he drew out his design plans on paper so it would be precise!
Here's a close-up...a blurry close-up--of the
TEETH. RRRRaaaaaahhhh!
Marty helping the boys
mount their Ships on the line. It took a little while before everyone really got the hang of this race.
Brant's first race he did
awesome! He got second place!! Way to go Turd!! LOL:)
Brant & Jacob & Kaleb raced each other in this
race! Bro Evans held Brant's while I held Jacob's...Bishop Clifford was on the other side holding Kaleb's.
Jacob got first place in this one!
Yeah Shark!! The kids had a great time. These events are always a good way to teach the kids about
Sportsmanship!! (Jacob got a little upset a few times...it can be stressful to not win every time:)
