This week the kids (with a little help from Daddy) completed their pinewood derby cars.
Saturday was race day and they all headed over there first thing in the morning.
Big Sister A's car took first place in every heat of her den and Brother M's took first place in almost every heat of his den. Brother S and Miss L took 2nd and 3rd in overall in the "sibling" heats.
In the overall pack races (top 3 from each den) M's car was 4th and A's was 13th. Lots of improvement from last year. They are excited to get their prizes.
Un-illustrated week: This week was full of a lot of boring doctor appointments. Brother M had his first orthodontic consultation. We all went to the chiropractor for our monthly adjustments and I had a routine check-up with the midwife (27 weeks). Big sister A had a late night (8-10pm!) ice skating activity with the kids from church and we had a fun playdate with some homeschool friends. The other mom and I worked on making 100 little paper flags for table top decorations at the upcoming cultural night activity at church while the kids made stop-motion animation videos. We also had our usual round of music and swimming lessons. I was hoping to get a lot done on the brush clearing project, but only managed to get 5 hours in on Saturday. We had rain every day this week and FIVE tornadoes touched down in our area on Friday. They were smallish, just enough to tear up trees and rip off shingles. Our house was not affected luckily. I did more planting and transplanting of seeds/seedlings and bred 4 pairs of bunnies. Two of the pairings are chocolate/chocolate coloring so we are hoping to have some lilac colored (so exciting!!) rabbit kits come from those matings in about a month. This is what the lilac colored kits should look like:
