Every year Jason and I fill out brackets and this is something we have had our kids do as well. Jason is obviously a big sports fan and I am not as much, but I love March Madness, because what's not to love? The competition is great and you get fun upsets, exciting buzzer beaters, and college athletes. It's pretty great. Jason and I have competed against each other in the past, but this year we had an espn.com bracket group consisting of just our family members. But obviously our kids aren't quite old enough to really make wise choices when they fill out their brackets. So this year Jason helped them. For Joshua, all favorites in the round of 64 were chosen but after that he chose winners based on who would win if the two mascots fought each other (that seemed like something Joshua would endorse). For Clara, he used a celebrity basketball player's bracket (Stephen Curry). For Hannah, he picked the highest seed to win every match up. Jason had a little bit more time than I did to work on his bracket, but we both do not have the time we used to to devote to this. Which makes me sad. I really had a good run for awhile. Anyway, Jason and I both chose our brackets as best we could. Much to our chagrin, Hannah was far and away the victor in our family league. (Note, though everyone else was far behind her, I beat Jason by a few points and that is a key takeaway). Here she is posing with her winning bracket. Jason and I look forward to the day our kids can be a little more active in filling out their brackets (and hopefully we will once again be fighting for 1st and 2nd place at that time).
