As I mentioned in my previous post, we had three pressing things going on this week:
1) Landon's book report
2) Student Council Election
3) Pinewood Derby
Let's start with the Derby. Landon and I found someone to shape our car and we took turns sanding it, and Landon painted it and put on some decals. I knew nothing about wheel balance and weight distribution, so I figured we'll just make it look really cool.
Landon was really excited to attend his first Derby and had a lot of fun with his friends.
The races began and Landon was excited to be able to put his own car on the track for each race. They make it really interactive and all the boys had a lot of fun.
Even though we came in last place, we had a lot of fun. I looked at the winning cars afterward to try to get some tricks for next year, but I couldn't see anything they did much differently than us. Oh well, at least we looked cool!
Then on Friday Landon got the word that he didn't win Student Council, and then just to add insult to injury, he had to re-do his book report. So, all the things we worked on this week didn't exactly work out like as we had hoped.
The final loss came on Saturday morning while eating, I lost some dental work. It was an entire bridge that just came right off, and underneath it was a nasty looking tooth. The pain became so unbearable that I ended up seeing my dentist at 9:00 that night. He ended up doing a root canal. I also have to go back on Tuesday to have another bridge put in. I can't really chew right now, so I was thinking maybe a liquid diet will help me to shed the pounds I gained this week. However, I found out that ice cream really soothes the pain. So I think next week will be called 'The Week of Gaining!".

I'm sorry. Some weeks just go that way. I think the worst is the whole tooth thing. Landon's car does look cool.
What a bummer! I hate bad weeks. When you get your tooth fixed, come over. I have MAJOR comfort food! I've only gained 13 lbs this pregnancy (I refuse to do as much damage as last time) but always at the end...bring on the sweets!!!!
That's okay...we still love Landon. My mom says that my dad will do his car next year...every year Brock won first place!!
That stinks Im sorry!
