What do you do when you want to spend quality time with some of the people in your village? You plan Murder Mystery night of course! I count Aaron and I very blessed and humbled that we have more village than what we played the game with that night, and I plan to host a couple more murder mysteries to enjoy all ofy village in the near future. Tonight, we were set in a Manor. I was the wealthy Anthony Westgrove, that is dying of cancer and wanted to gather my family to say goodbye and to let them know I was turning the company over to my illegitimate son Richard, who was the only one that knew I planned to commit suicide after the gathering. We had a Lavish dinner planned of Flat Iron Steak, Marnie's Augrautin potatoes, Jenn's Rolls, Shannon Brock virgin Movktails and I topped it all off with Creme Brulee for dessert. The game company that I got this mystery night from was not as well thought out as How to Host a Murders for sure! The books were inconsistent...
In February Charles got to participate in his first ever Pinewood derby. He was so excited. He had his cousin Logan help him a little with the design and then Aaron helped him a little with cutting the wood, but Charles did the rest. He decided that he wanted to have a "Flag" car. So he made it red white and blue.I was so proud of him. It was pretty fun to watch him paint his car. He must have put on like 5 different coats, we were worried for a second that he put too much paint on and threw off the weight f the car. But no worries. he was perfect :) 
The night of the derby he was like a kid in a candy store. He was so anxious to go that he couldn't sit still for more than 5 seconds.When we finally got there and got his car all weighed in he was ogling at the other cars that the boys in his Troop had built, There were some pretty cool ones :) 
After his car was weighed in he disappeared and spent the rest of the evening hanging out with his fellow chums watching as their cars ran down the race track. It was a really fun night. I Am so grateful that Charles is in the Scouting program! What better way to learn some of lifes most important skills? We are definitely looking forward to nest years rematch, he already has about a hundred different ideas running through his head of what he wants his next car to look like. It will be awesome
