Who loves Michigan?

The NCAA tournament will end tonight.  The BIG dance will be complete.  It's Louisville v. Michigan.  I AM TORN!  I may have mentioned that all three of us participated in the firm NCAA pool this year.  Ella was out after Ohio State lost.  Jay is hanging in there but is out for any money, and my bracket could squeak into 3rd place depending on the results of tonight's game (or I could lose by a measly 1 point).  Boo.  Anyway, I am torn because I love me some Michigan basketball.  Remember Chris Webber?  Oh.  Sigh.  Despite his calling timeout when they had no timeouts, I still love him.  I mean, back in the day when the NBA was sweet, I even owned Chris Webber jerseys.  Hmm...I wonder what happened to those?  It'd be a fun throw back to wear those out and about - HA!  So, my heart cheers for Michigan but I have to stay strong and support Louisville for the sake of a possible 3rd place finish in the NCAA pool.  We'll see what happens! (and I better find a nap today since the game doesn't tip off until 8:23 p.m.)  Yikes!

In other news, it was "just the girls" this weekend, as Ella loves to say.  :)  Jay was out of town so Ella and I had the run of the house.  We did some shopping, lunched out at Culver's because all Ella wanted to eat was grilled cheese, and cleaned house! :) 

Okay, I have to tell you about Friday night.  First of all, we were eating dinner at the table just enjoying our food.  Out of the BLUE, Ella turns to me and shouts "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"  What?  I am still laughing about it.  I have no idea where she got that line, but that. was. hilarious.    Later, Ella & I were looking through a set of cards we have that show all types of occupations to learn about different jobs in the world.  Anyway,  the two cards above are a waitress on the left and a teacher on the right.  When I asked Ella what these people were, she told me a "restauranter" and an "Apple Valley person." See the apple?  HA!

We also made some delicious brownies yesterday using up Easter candy (Reeses PB cups were layered in).  YUM!  (these are just the "before" pictures - I forgot to take one after they were baked)  But try them - they are super!  I layered in 20 chopped up mini Reeses PB cups into a brownie mix (because I was lazy).
