This weekend was the Cub Scouts' pinewood derby race. Basically, the cub scouts each get a block of wood to shape into a car and then they weight it and race it on a long track (a hill track).
Oldest and Middle boy both created a car. Oldest's was a Wall-e car and Middle boy's was a "Clone Wars" car. They had fun with hubby making the cars. The most incredible thing was that oldest painted the car. Yes, this is the boy who HATES art. He still hates art. He painted it yellow on the body and grey/silver on the top. Middle boy's car was silver. Both had stickers of their respective 'theme' and Oldest's car even had a pipe cleaner eyes (like Wall-e). Oldest's car came in 4th (last) both times. Middle boy got a 2nd and a 4th. So, both were eliminated.
HOWEVER, Oldest got the pack award for "Most humorous' as voted by the adults. Not bad for a boy with autism. They only gave out about 6 'special' awards.
