5:55 am. . .

And they are off! The robotics team were on their way very early this morning to receive our official assignment for building our Robot. The only thing we know is the rules for the competition and the sneak peek about their upcoming competition "Just Plane Crazy".

I heard the alarm go off at 5:00 this morning and after rolling around and telling myself to crawl out of bed around 5:05, I made it into Sarah's room only to be surprised with the light on, her in the middle of the room completely dressed, packed, and playing with her camera. She was too excited to sleep. Sarah was our official designee to go for our family to the Kick-off Assignment. She rode with the head of our team and one of her friends. She was way excited and I had to remind her that the people in her caravan might not be morning people and would not be open to a chatty girl early in the morning. She got the hint. However her crew was just as pumped as she was and off they left. Godspeed!

We are still on the homefront and most of the family was able to sleep in. But it's opening day here too for FOOTBALL!!!!! "Are you ready for some Football?", Zech asks. Also for some, "We've got Spirit, GO, TEAM, GO!", Cheerleading! God is so wonderful and we are able to have her cheerleading team cheer at the same time Zech's team is playing football! So at 10:00 you will hear the roaring of the crowds (yes just moms, dads, grandparents, and friends), the crash of the helmets (not really because this is flag), and the cheers of the girls routing for their team (really they just like looking cute in their outfits and jumping and flipping and such!).

So its opening day for a lot of activities in the Roberson Academy today! I'm sure our ceremonies won't be as elaborate as the Olympics, but my kids are sure to win the Gold! Maybe not the gold medals, but the gold of friendship, fun, and sportmanship. Let's Go Team! (whichever team you are on!).
