Winter Exercise=Laps...Race Car Style

The long days of winter here mean little chance to "get the wiggles out" around here. I don't know what we'd do without our (at least) daily "race". (Usually I turn on the music when I get the call that Greg is on his way home from work. They will usually keep at it until he gets home 15 minutes or so later!) Thankfully our townhome is shaped in a circle on the main floor. So, there is a well defined little lap to make. (You may need to be creative on defining your racetrack.)

Our race includes:

The Cars Soundtrack
(The first track is all we really use for racing. You can download it off of Itunes. It's called "Real Gone" with Sheryl Crow and John Shanks.)
+
Racing number and Exhaust pipe
(Number just printed off of the computer and mounted on cardstock. Exhaust pipe is a tinfoil-covered toilet paper tube with thin elastic tied to each side so it fits on like a belt.)

Brace yourself for some engine-revving, paint-swapping fun!
(Usually there are two boys and no push-toy. But, today while Nathan was gone, Joshua wanted to race on his own.)

Our boys like it best when we're willing to do their "pit stops". After every few laps they stop for some "gas and tires". We "glug, glug, glug" a little gas into their tummies and "zrt, zrt, zrt, zrt" down by their feet to change their tires.
