My AWANA Cubbies Car

Those of you who were at Bible study last Thursday are sure to remember the Cubbies Car that Dave built for Emma. If not, it pretty much looked like this... It had a steering wheel, personalized license plates, and dry ice hooked up to the muffler (so smoke came out). Put simply, it was all a three-year-old Cubby could dream of (for the annual Cubby drive-in night).

So what did yours truly put together for his three-year-old road warrior? Well, let's just say I didn't realize how much effort and creative energy the Cubby cars were supposed to receive. I pretty much thought, "It's supposed to be a box that looks a little bit like a car." In retrospect, I should have thought, "It's supposed to be a car that someone, upon close inspection, might be able to tell is made of cardboard."

Anyway, here's my "box-car." (Don't laugh too hard... I'm new at the Cubby-car-building-thing.)
Yeah... I know... it's pretty bad. My poor daughter, Ashley, had to sit in that all night while hundreds of her three- and four-year-old friends sat in their cool, colorful, creative Cubby cars.
I guess my car was more of the "homeless-chic" look. It's a good thing that Ashley is only three (I think the embarrassment of something like this would have proved detrimental to a Junior Higher).

Anyway, if I had it to do all over again, I would have done something a little more like this:

Thankfully, I'll get a chance again soon enough. Isaac will be two in June, so I've got just over eighteen months (or so) to start on his Cubby car.

Then again, I might just borrow Dave's.
