...And Good Looks Too

Today was the Sectional Pinewood Derby for Elliott at church. Based on previous years' experiences, and the shame I have brought on my kids, I stay as far away from participating in the design and work on the cars as possible. This year it paid off. Elliott designed this car and had worked on it to include the design and painting and even the affixing of real guitar strings. It didn't win any races, but it did come in 1st place for best design! Nicely done.

Meanwhile, Lucie has had some of her cruise friends over to scrapbook. What a process that is. Our dining room looks like a Chinese sweatshop. They were up till after 1 AM this morning scrapbooking. But she is having fun and it is coming out really good.

It finally stopped raining and the sun is out. Tonight is cheeseburger pasta night. Tomorrow night at church is the annual Missions Banquet and we are encouaged to bring ethnic foods. Maybe we will bring some leftovers. You don't get much more American than cheeseburger based foods (bring on the comments...)
