A Week of Holidays

I like "celebrating" holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Pi Day...

Pi Day was this past Wednesday, but since Emi has music class on Wednesdays until the end of March we didn't have time to bake a pie. So instead we put on our Pi Shirts, bought a bunch of pies and had a Picnic in the park.

How do I pass up including this picture?
And for dinner we popped out some Pi ice to chill our drinks with our paella [pronounced pi-eya].
The next day, Thursday, we had left over pies, so Emi said it was still Pi Day, which makes sense since pi is 3.1415, so we had more pies and more ice.

This weekend, today, is St. Patrick's Day, except Emi's with Michael this weekend, so I brought the green out early. After our pies I coloured Emi's hands green and for dinner I made pancakes, coloured green. Since she's been on an Angry Birds kick I even made a pig for her, a big pancake for his head and a smaller one for his nose. Then we cuddled up and played some St. Pat's Angry Birds and Emi wished me a Happy Mommy St. Patrick's Day.
I hoped we'd have left over pancakes for brekky Friday morning, but nope, they were all eaten, so we had a regular breakfast followed by more hand dyeing! And more cuddling with a side of Angry Bird-ing.

Kiss Me, I'm Irish!

I can see Emi asking to colour her hands more often now, and why not? Last month we dyed some 30 eggs. No holiday necessary!
