Sometimes there's Final Four Weekend....

...and sometimes there's the Final Four Weekend Extravaganza!  The Final Four Weekend Extravaganza occurs once a year, as does the Final Four.  During this weekend, there are many activities that occur, the most awesome of which is the actual Final Four.  But what makes this weekend so incredibly special is that Meghan and Anna are always there.  This is our fourth annual Final Four Weekend Extravaganza, and it is the fourth straight year that Meghan, Anna, Scott and I have been in attendance.  Most years, other family and friends are involved and that just makes the weekend even more extravagant! 

The very first Final Four Weekend Extravaganza occurred when we lived in Beacon Falls and Scott's brothers and girlfriends (well, girlfriends at the time, now they are wives!) were in attendance...they really helped start it all.  They also helped start the tradition of "field day" during the day on Saturday of the Final Four.  We played various schoolyard games, the most notable of which was SPUD, before the games began.  Since that time, the "field day" has continued.  This year, however, due to the inclement weather, we may stay indoors with an awesome math class project to brainstorm and try out for Meghan's Geometry class.  It may not sound awesome to you, and if not, than I'm thinking you don't fully understand how awesome Meghan is.  

Anna has chosen to sleep (due her whole "working nights" nursing thing), and she won't get to the extravaganza until later.  But, I'm trusting that once she is here that she will stay awake long enough to witness the first ever projection of the Final Four in HD onto our wall.  Our goal is to make the Final Four life-size...I will let you know if our goal is reached.  We're hoping this will start yet another Final Four Weekend Extravaganza tradition.

All are welcome to the attend today's Final Four Weekend Extravaganza events, and if you can't make it this year because you live in Chicago or something, then hopefully next year....same time, same place, same traditions, same awesome-ness.

BUT, you can look for me on your life-size projection on Monday night cheering for....wait, who's playing again?
