pinewood derby!

Q's cubby den held the pinewood derby today.  we were terrified since he doesn't take losing too well and can spiral into full ADHD meltdown very easily.  adding to the fear was the fact that we appeared to be the only people who actually let the 6 year old make the car.  he selected green, blue, and orange as his color scheme, and named his car "spaceship earth."

we knew each scout was guaranteed 3 heats.  spaceship earth finished 2nd, 2nd, and 1st in the first 3 3-car runs, meaning he made it to the next round.  he finished 2nd in the 4th heat, earning a spot in the next heat.  there he finished 3rd and was eliminated.  he was upset but did manage to hold it together. yay!
