Cubinapolis

It is the Cubinapolis again. I am so glad we saved Wyatt's car so that we wouldn't have to make a whole new one this year. If they have one next year we will have to make one for Clayton... he is turning 8 soon and he is so excited! The boys had so much fun and it was fun for our family to be Wyatt's pit crew. Wyatt was a really good sport and a good brother... he let Clayton use his car to race against Karston. Cub scouts is so fun!

Our {first} Pinewood Derby 2012

Our kids are growing up so fast!!! This year was our {first} Derby... and it was lots of fun. Willy helped Wyatt build his car {I helped a bit}... it turned out so good. Wyatt painted it over about 5 times before he decided he liked it. I am so proud of the job he did... and he did really well at the Derby... he won 3-first places and 2-second places... but most importantly... HE HAD FUN! Wyatt was even good to get one of Grandpa's old cars and help Clayton sign up to race. They were so cute with each other. Willy & I enjoyed watching our kids have fun... until Darby went down to the end of the track and was getting all the cars. It was a great night... next year we will have two boys racing their cars in the Derby.

Aunt Shantay made a car for the Laurels class to race.... and then gave it to Sadie... she is such a sweet Aunt.

Cub Scout Wednesdays

Wednesday is a crazy day. I spend most of the day getting everything ready for Scouts after school. I am one of the Webelos leaders and we have a pretty large group right now. As Webelos we have to memorize all the Boy Scout... Oath, Motto, Law and Slogan to get our badge and Arrow of Light... so I decided to make some cards for the boys, to make it easier for them to memorize them. And while I was at it I made some Cub Scout cards for Wyatt because he is in Wolfs and Clayton will be going in, in October.

 I also made this little poster for Wyatt with his pictures on it and I hung it on his wall by his bed so he can look at it and remember to be a good Scout.

Feel free to print these off and use them for your boys.

Happy Scouting

May 2011 Cub Scout Packmeeting

 {Box Car Race}

We went to our first Packmeeting with Wyatt, Tuesday night. He has been so excited. When I first mentioned scouts... he didn't want anything to do with it... he thought it would infringe on his playtime... but as it got closer he got more and more excited about it and now he absolutely loves it!!! For days that is all he could talk about. 

Last Wednesday after school Wyatt and the other boys went to the church for scouts. They played games, had tons of fun, and brought home this box that we were supposed to have decorated by Tuesday night for Packmeetings Box Car Race. Wyatt kept after me every day all weekend long until we finished his car. He spray painted it black all by himself, we found flames on the computer that we printed out and used as a stencil, same for the wheels. Wyatt liked the way it turned out.

The race was awsome!!! Jackie L. is the Cub Scout Master and I have to say she is soooo creative. Wyatt got to race first against Tanner Layton. It was such a good race and they had so much fun. The drivers family had to be the {pit crew} and they had to stop in the pit 3 times. 

For the first stop we had to wash their windshield {which was their goggles}... we sprayed them with a squirt bottle and wiped them dry... 

the second stop they had to fuel up {get a drink of lemonade}... but they couldn't take their hands off of their car the whole race so we had to hold the cup while they drank... 

and for the third stop they had to get their tires changed {we, the pit crew, had to remove their shoes and socks, turn their socks inside out put them back on and put their shoes back on}... it was lots of fun, even for the family.

Wyatt and Tanner both had wrecks during their race. Wyatt wrecked right at the first corner and Tanner wrecked right at the home stretch. They both did so good and had lots of fun. I am so proud of Wyatt and excited for him to be involved in Scouts. He is a busy body and it gives him something to do. 

Cub Scout Day Camp is coming up soon...
