It's March

Since I thought it was such a fun idea of Colleen's to let the kids do a March Madness bracket, I pulled one out for just Sarah yesterday.  I figured that Will would probably just repeat every single name back at me instead of actually picking just 1.  Sarah and I sat down  with a placemat of the United States and a bracket and she picked her teams.  Some of her reasoning - places she's been, where Gammy lives, where we live, where her cousin Sofia lives, any state that is pink in her placemat and any resemblance to a Barbie song (Connecticut = Barbie Diamond Castle song Connected).


Here's her final 4:
Arizona
Connecticut (don't underestimate the power of sounding like a Barbie song)
Florida (pink)
North Carolina (pink AND she's been there)

She has NC winning it all.  
(PS to Pa-Paw she picked  OK 3 times - both teams)

I made a bracket as well and now it's a game to her.  I told her that if she has the most teams win then I will take her to Chuck E Cheese (her choice) but if I have the most teams win, she has to take me.  She thinks this is great.  She walked into my bedroom this morning to wake me up and asked if we could go see who won the game.  I had to explain that it's going to take awhile.  This may be a long couple weeks!  So far, I'm up 13 to 12 - pretty close match up!!
