Awesome!

Here are the pictures...



Steve helps them achieve their design but the design is all theirs. One year, Matthew wanted to do a catapult, drew it up and Steve helped him cut it out, knowing all along that it wouldn't do very well and it didn't. That's ok!

This year, Matthew did a razor-thin car, painted it black and then laid clear "iridescent" wrapping paper over it so that it shimmered in the light. (He kept telling me he wanted it to look like a CD).

Joshua drew out the design on the side of the pinewood and Steve cut it out. Then Joshua painted it sparkly gold on top, sparkly silver on the sides.

Steve did "Lightening McQueen" and I raced it in the "Parent/leader race." Here I am. Ka-Chow! Heh heh...I got second place.



Here's Matthew getting his 1st place trophy. (The guy behind him is who beat Lightening.)



Here's Joshua, waiting in line to race.
