Our Latest Wager

My family laughs at us because John and I are always competing on everything from Sudoku to knowing the title and artist of songs on the radio. So every year we join millions of others in "March Madness" and fill out our brackets and make a wager. This year the loser has to watch the kids for an hour on 5 different days so the winner can go to the gym! I have not been to the gym since Karis was born so I am pretty psyched that I have a pretty strong lead at the moment!! Of course, it is only luck. I pretty much make my picks based on the rankings (listed on the sheet) and the fact that I like the sound of Gonzaga, Xavier and Villanova and they are always in the tournament so they must be pretty good and I just happen to be partial to UNC and Kansas. Those two seem to always make it into my final four!! This year I have UNC picked as the winner - apparently President Obama does as well and he is quite the basketball person so maybe I am on the right track:)

Justin and I do this too! How funny. And the kids even join in. It's good fun. Although, there is not wager involved. Maybe I should change that as I have a pretty good winning record. Justin is dependent on UNC taking it all to pull out the win, otherwise I will be victorious once again. So I guess I am cheering against you. Sorry.
