It's Madness for Sure

This is one of my favorite non-holiday days of the year. I love Selection Sunday where I fill out my March Madness brackets based partly on strategy, but mostly on mascots I like, or people I know living by a school, or places I've been. For the record, I have Arizona beating Purdue in the Finals. I'm a Wildcat fan, but there is no rhyme or reason for Purdue making it that far except that they are the BoilerMakers (who even knows what a boilermaker is). Also for the record, Jake picked Duke (a 1 seed) to lose to Hampton (a 16 seed) in the first round.

But the madness doesn't end there.

This morning Annie and Hannah both announced that they are the real Taylor Swifts. The other one on magazines and tv is just fake. Then they rocked the front yard with their own concert complete with a hose, a hiking stick and a shovel for microphones. They know every tune of every one of her songs, but only about 60 percent of the lyrics and make up sound-alike words to fill the gaps.

Abby is back on her meena bobber kick. I swear I have no idea where she comes up with this stuff. She just started calling me and Jeremy meena bobbers when she thought we were being mean. And if she calls you a queena quobber, well let's just say, that's pretty awful. There is really no end to the names she can rhyme with those nonsense words. There's beena bobber, car-a bobber, sheena shobber, light-a bobber... You get the idea. She and I made up insults all the way home from Wal-mart last night. It's madness I tell ya!

Finally, I don't know if it was because Jeremy was just being kind, tired, oblivious or what, but the girls did his hair tonight and he looked fabulous. It takes a real man to wear pink flowers in his hair.

Tomorrow starts Spring Break and we are hopefully on our last leg of the stomach bug that's plagued our family. Abby's got it now and we're praying it is just a once-through-the-family thing.

Bring on the Madness!

Go Wildcats!
