This is Awana Grand Prix season, and that means that our family spends time discussing what each little girl wants to create, and their daddy researches plans, and, finally, they turn our house into pinewood derby workshop.
I'm including these pictures so that you cans see that the girls actually did collaborate with the construction. Sapphire requested a chocolate theme, and Ruby wanted something from "Frozen" (big surprise). Tonight was the Grand Prix, and the girls were excited to compete and cheer on their friends. My daughters' cars were probably the slowest ones there; they stood no chance at speed. The kids in our Awana program are all better engineers than anyone in this humanities household. Sapphire and Ruby were pretty excited to show their daddy the design trophies their cars won.
Daniel was on a trip for a church conference in Denver this last week. He so enjoyed the chance to see the scenic hugeness of Colorado. He spend a day out in the mountains, shod in borrowed snowshoes thanks to some gracious friends in Denver. He said snowshoeing was neither as hard nor as cold as he imagined it would be.
Our eight ducklings are starting to grow some very un-cute pin feathers. We've also acquired a cat for the summer while her owner visits family in China. Our house menagerie is at its peak, I think.
