Keegan had his first ever Pine Wood Derby this week. He had been super excited to make his car and he and Doug had it finished about a week before the race. They had a car emergency the night before the Derby, but thanks to an extra kit from Keegan's good friend Luke, they took care of it and were ready to go. We tried to prepare Keegan for the possibility of losing every race, but he surprised us by saying, "It's okay if I lose, because me and Dad had such a fun time making my car." What the WHAT?? Who's kid IS that? Anyway, we needn't have worried, because his car kicked butt!! He ended up placing 4th out of 28 kids and 1st in his den. All in all, it was a great first race.
GREAT job Keegan!! Awesome placing! Jordan placed 4th and first in his den also his first year...must be a Gooch trait! This year he didn't do as well and I swear Scott took it WAY worse then Jordan did!! :) Good job Keegan on having a positive perspective!
As we were leaving Target, snow started falling like crazy and he said, "Man, I hope it's not a WIZARD!"
"Mom, you're a little prettier with a baby growing in your tummy."
"Dad, you're a MEANIAC!!!!"
"I love to say 'hola amigo' because I like the way it feels in my mouth."
"Mom, why do brownies taste SOOOOOOO good?"
"Mom, do you know that Chloe is totally crushed on me? I know it's true, cause she tried to kiss me!"
While preparing his penguin presentation, I ask Keegan, "What do you want to say about penguins in general?" His response, "What in the WORLD is general?"

That's funny, Lora!! It's true - sometimes I think the dads care more than the boys :)
