We are at the eve of March Madness starting so Christine and I took some time with the girls tonight to fill out their brackets. We actually weren’t all together so I helped Maile with hers and Christine helped Lauren with hers.

For Maile, I decided to teach her about seeds and upsets this year. This lead to a much more “chalk” bracket – with the exception that she couldn’t quite pull herself away from going as far as possible with Hawaii. Because, ya know, Grandma and Papa.

In fact, she ran into quite the conundrum in the Final Four trying to decide what to do with a Hawaii vs. Duke matchup. Check it out:

As for Lauren, well, apparently our youngest is a Beavis. As in Beavis and Butthead. Once Christine told her that one of the teams was named “Butler” – she couldn’t get over it, thought it was hilarious and rode them all the way to the Championships. Yes, Lauren picked #9 Butler to win the NCAA Tournament because, you know, butts.

If you haven’t submitted your brackets yet and are looking for some tips, here are the girls complete brackets:
