Today is one of my favorite days of the year - the tip off of the March Madness basketball tournament! While the entire tournament is entertaining to watch, I especially love these first two days when there are so many game, usually some upsets, and often many close games. I love this tournament so much that when I was teaching I would incorporate it into a poetry unit as my classes would compete in March Poetry Madness!!
The kids get more into it each year as I have them fill out a bracket too for fun! Faith picked Michigan to win the tournament - not a wise pick, but I like the loyalty of it. And Shane was so excited to watch some games this afternoon that he wanted to put on some game day clothes!
While not the most accurate game day outfit (he put on a Lions jersey, which is pro football!), I liked his enthusiasm! We have had fun today watching the games, and will again tomorrow when our two favorite teams take the court as Michigan and Duke both play tomorrow afternoon!
Today I am thankful for the excitement March Madness brings and that the fun we can have watching the games!
