Next Great American Band?

Did anyone watch the "Next Great American Band?" In the next to last week, the band that eventually won sang a version of "This Little Light of Mine." I watched it with the boys, and apparently it made an impression on Jason. You can check out the Clark Brothers' version here. THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE/FAITH FAITH FAITH

Then come back and check out Jason's version:

Pinewood Derby 2008

Tonight's pinewood derby was a lot of fun. The boys worked hard on their cars and came away with trophies. Christopher got a trophy for being the 5th fastest in the pack, and Nate got a trophy for the best design. It was nice to finally have a derby where it wasn't a "character building experience." Nate looked pretty disappointed during the races, but when they announced the trophy winners for coolest car, you should have seen his face light up. There were some phenomenal cars there tonight, but in the end, the boys vote for the coolest cars. So, to win best design, you have to know what a 6-10 year-old would think was cool. Apparently these two were "cool."
