Today I am awesome. Our day started at 6:00am so we could get ready for the Rocket/Boat Races with Scouts. We got out the door and to the school in time to help set up at 8:00am. We didn't leave until about 3:00pm. As soon as I got home I started emailing info. and photos so we can get it into the local paper, and then started downloading and saving photos to FB and on cd, and now I am updating the blog. So I am bragging on myself today, and my awesome boys and how well they did. Dorsan was not to keen on making his boat and rocket, so he took the quickest way to get done. Hint that is why his rocket is just green. Although he didn't want to work on them that much he did pretty well. He placed 2nd for speed and 1st for design within his den for his boat. He worked really hard on blowing his boat down the gutter and did very well. He didn't place at all for his rocket. It was comical though because they would release the rockets and I don't think his ever made it past 15ft. Do not know what went wrong there.

Corbin is our little artist and perfectionist. Luckily we did not have that same issues as we did with his car. He was happy with his painting so no touch ups needed. He comes up with some creative ideas. Most 7yr olds would not come up with the idea to make his boat look like a squid. That is what he wanted so we went with it and it turned out well. He placed 1st for speed and design in his den,and 2nd overall for speed out of the whole troop. I am glad he likes to come up with this stuff. I just hope he is still doing it as he gets older. I notice dorsan is not as big on coming up with the outside the box stuff, and that is ok by me. Sometimes easier to do when making this stuff. Corbin wanted his rocket to look like a soda can, so we tried to make it look like a coke can. There were only 2 entries for his den in the rockets. He took 2nd for design and 1st for speed in his den. He took 1st for speed overall in the troop. He did almost of the work on his rocket himself. He did quite a bit of sanding to get it that way and it paid off. Unfortunately scouts is no longer racing the rockets at districts otherwise I think he would have done pretty well. When they called him for his 2nd trophy he jumped up and did this fist punch. Wish I had the camera with me to get it. Unfortunately I was helping out and Scott had the camera. Go boys!!!!
