Pine Wood Derby Prep & Our Evening at the Epperson's!

Tony and Jarom in the shop.
Jarom sanding his Derby car.
(And obviously disgusted that I wanted a picture!)
Jarom and Tony.
Jarom at home putting the first coat of paint on.
Tony told him it had to have ten coats of paint to look good.
Jarom took him seriously.
On the way home from the Epperson's, he figured out that he would need to do a coat of paint tonight, and three each on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
(Thursday is the day of the Derby!)
Therefore, the ONLY solution as far as Jarom could see was to stop by Home Depot on the way home and get the highly desired green spray paint.
(I have orange and purple, but they weren't going to cut it!)
Lookin' good, Kiddo!
Other non-Derby related pictures from our evening with the Epperson's include:
The wildlife of University Place.
Monkeys over take Tony's truck.
Man, it was good to see Max again.
The boys didn't want to leave!

Ooh ooh, I'm a cool kid now!
That was so fun last night. And Mr. Max had so much fun that he is still sleeping! So THANK YOU! :) I think we need to do it again!

You've always been one of the cool kids! :)
We had a blast last night too!
And Jarom's excitement about the car is totally blowing me away! (I thank Tony for that!) He was up 'til midnight working on it! It has it's second layer of paint on already. I found some 150 and 220 grit sandpaper in the garage, so we are going to use that in between coats now that it is smoooooth!
