Racing With A New Edge

Everyone knows a real racer needs a great car, sponsors...and a fire suit!

Look what mommy grabbed at Goodwill today for $3!  Isn't this too precious!

Now, my little race car driver can drive and win in style.

His favorite driver is Jeff Gordon, which you probably figured out already, but mostly likely it is *his* favorite because he is *daddy's* favorite.

Either way he is too precious, and too excited about this jumpsuit!

Thomas has been pretending his trike is a race car for many months now, so I went and made him some play flags for outside.  I thought they would be fun since I am usually the flag man and I pretend to wave the right flag. Now, he and Gracie can play NASCAR all they want.

I just used scrap fabric and found some craft wooden dowels.  I didn't have checkered material, and I couldn't find any at the store, so I used black gingham. It worked.  Then, a few weeks ago, also at Goodwill, I snagged two of those flags you clip to your car.  One was checkered with the NASCAR logo and one was Jeff Gordon.  I took them off of their plastic poles and now we have a whole array of fun things to play racin'!

But it was Gracie who put the icing on the cake. As if the flags and the fire suit weren't enough, she ran upstairs and got her summer reading trophy to present to Thomas as the Winston Cup.
