Painting time!

Jonathan had his Cub Scout Pinewood Derby race today (Saturday), so he was just putting the final finishing touches on his car yesterday. It was a gorgeous day outside, so he got everything set up and they ALL painted!

Jack had a nice rock he wanted to paint blue and red.

He was doing so well.

I had to take my eyes off of him for just a second because I didn't have a picture of Jayla yet.

And this is what I get......

It was too funny! It washed right off with water, so no biggie! What a goof! They all had a great time!
