It's March Madness!!

Ready, set, GO!  March Madness started this morning.  For the uneducated that is the National college basketball tournament that sweeps the country.  Thousands of people fill out brackets and try to pick the winner.  It goes on for about three weeks and is sooo fun.  The trash talk between my kids was fast, furious and frequent last night but the brackets are all locked in and it's "go time"! Last year was more like "March Mayhem" because so many things didn't go as planned.  Number ones fell early and often and lower seeds were beating higher seeds right and left.  Because of this mess, Aubrie actually won!  Keep in mind that I would bet my life on the fact that Aubrie has never seen a whole basketball game in her entire life.  She picks her teams by their colors, or the name of their mascot.  We have a few new additions to our family who have interesting methods of picking their teams.  Aleigh goes by where her friends are going to school or the ties the schools might have to Hunter or his mission.  Alana has a sports background so she is like me in that we probably have a little bit of knowledge of a few of the teams but go by things not related to their cheerleaders or the cute guys in the stands:)  Savannah has perennially been in the back of the pack (wayyyy back) early on because of her underdog and kind of unexplainable choices but she has decided to take an active role in changing that status.  She has done research on the teams and their players and records and injuries and has fasted and prayed (O.K. a little exaggeration there) and has picked the winning bracket according to her.  All of the TV's in my house are on and tuned to the games and I am highlighting and crossing off winners and losers and having the time of my life.  Go Wichita St.!!!!
