Brackets and blue skies

This post is a little late, already past the Sweet Sixteen, but we did have a fill-out-your-bracket time as a family before March Madness began and I am proud to say I am in the lead (among the four of us).  Austin is getting pretty into it this year and had some strong opinions about who he picked.  Bennett...well, not so much.  It was sort of like torture trying to get him to choose anything and he probably picked 6 teams out of the entire bracket.  Chris filled in the rest for him.  But we are watching the games that are not in the middle of the night (today's Carolina win started at a nice, reasonable time of 7:49 am for us today).

Decisions, decisions...it is hard to decide.  Except for the Heels, who we all choose with ease.

"Umm, I don't know Daddy" was Bennett's normal response to each bracket choice.

Here are the brackets, posted on the kitchen door.  Did I mention I am beating the men in my family? You can't tell from the picture, but the bottom bracket is Bennett's.  While he didn't care much for filling his out, he did want to write and color on it.  Across the middle in pink marker, he wrote LeHigh in really big letters.  So he did choose one team well!
In other news, we had beautiful blue skies and warm-ish weather today!  Made me finally feel excited for spring.  We had a picnic lunch on the back porch and spent time playing outside today.  No moving news yet...Hunemullers have still not settled on a place and we are sort of waiting to see what they decide before making a final decision.  There are two possibilities in our neighborhood for them, though both have some less than desirable things about them.  Nothing close together where we both could move.  So we will see.
