Busy weekend, especially for Alex. Saturday morning he had a robotics meet (a makeup for one or two that were cancelled a few weeks ago due to the weather), which started out weird when I dropped him off. He was supposed to be at the school at 7:00, so we were there at 7:00, and there was nobody else there. We checked the email several times and it always said the meet was starting at 7. People from other schools started showing up at around 7:30, and nobody from the high school was there until nearly 8. And Alex was the only one of his team (except the teacher) that was there until around 9. So, we’re not really sure what the real schedule was supposed to be. Anyway, they didn’t do very well. Not sure why they seem to struggle so much at the meets, but they were around 3rd to last place. Alex was talking about not doing it any more after this year, but I think that would be a mistake, win or lose. Anyway, the meet went on until around 3:00. Then he had to get ready for the high school Snowball dance! His friend (it’s not a date) Sydney went with him (she’s driving now, so she picked him up) and they met up with a few other friends there. He had a nice new shirt and tie on and looked so grown up. While they were at the dance, the girls and I all went to see the new “How to Train Your Dragon 3” movie. Alex was back around 10:30 or so, and he said he had a really great time! Even danced some....Today was Fire & Ice for the kids, at around 2 we dropped them off at church and they spent the day going to FW with the youth group to get Mexican food for an early supper and going to the Komets hockey game (against the Cincy Cyclones, the Komets tied it up at 4 with seconds to go and their goalie pulled, then won in OT!). This was the first time we’d been away from all the kids for more than moments at a time for almost 3 years. It was a nice day off. They were back around 9.
