Great Brain & Pinewood Derby

Last week Kaeli reported on her "great brain" project. She could choose to research anything she wanted to, and turn in a written report and do an oral report. It shouldn't surprise you that she choose to do her report on gymnastics and Shawn Johnson! Aaron and I went into her classroom to watch her do the oral presentation. She did a great brain of a job!


Earlier this week Sam had his annual pinewood derby! He and Aaron designed and cut out the car. And of course Sammy sanded it. They ran out of time to finish it so while Sam was at school I painted it for him. At the derby they ended up having to stick additional stickers on his car since they already had a #9, so Sam was #999! He never came in first, but if you ask me he had a pretty cool lookin' car :-)
