March Madness

We like college basketball in our house.  Abbey doesn't really watch TV, but she knows "ba-ket-ball" and that you say "swish" when the good guys have the ball and "clank" when the bad guys have the ball.  Needless to say, we are all thrilled to be in the midst of March Madness, with our Spartans in the Final Four for the second year in a row.  I, personally, am not thrilled that my streak of beating Ryan in the brackets has ended.  There's no way I can beat him this year.  Boooooo!  This past Sunday, the kids and I went to my mom's to watch the game, and (as you can see), they were not quite sure what all the fuss was about.

 

Abbey and Nan built some lovely buildings during the game.  Poor Nan is visiting during college basketball's craziest few weekends, and my mom is as big a fan as anyone.  Sorry Nan, but we had to go through those pesky Volunteers to reach the Final Four for the second straight year.

Dylan was getting a little worried that the Spartans wouldn't be able to pull off the victory.  He hasn't been around long enough to witness Tom Izzo's impressive March coaching record.

Hooray!  They're winning!

Dylan loves Nan and her laugh so much.

(Thanks to Stacy for the MSU sweatshirt.  We'd like to think it gave the team the little extra boost they needed to advance to the next round.  He'll be wearing it again Saturday.)
