If you want to find Madison's birthdate inside the number pi, it's 171,583,914 digits in. That's just in case you missed it. Just to prove that, it's right here in the middle of all these numbers, in case you want to spot it for yourself:
Did you spot it? In case you're wondering, yes, today is Pi Day. Or, if you're even more serious about this: π Day.
To celebrate Pi Day, here's a screen capture from the movie "Frozen," exactly 3.14 seconds into the movie.
Disney has a great collection of screen captures of their movies, each one at 3 minutes and 14 seconds in. Here are two movies from the nineties that we rather like - funny screen captures!
These sort of express how different people are first thing in the morning. And both are at the π mark inside "Hercules" and "Aladdin."
This morning, the leprechauns literally trashed Madison's classroom. I'm not making this up. The place was ambushed! Traps were knocked over, glitter everywhere and candy on the desks and around the traps. The whole place looked like it was attacked by leprechauns - and the kids loved it! Daddy got to see the event first-hand, and even came back later to surprise Madison. He and Mommy got there just in time for the BOOK FAIR. Yep, we try not to miss these. Madison was happy to see us - for one thing, we had money and she didn't! And she knew exactly which book she wanted to get too. Neither of us had ever heard of it before, but Madison went straight to a book about princesses and I think something to do with "Moldilocks?" I'll get the book tomorrow morning and let you know what it is. Currently, it's in Madison's bedroom and it's late.
ANYWAY, after Daddy got home from work, we went to see a ballet. Yes, it was time for Mary Poppins!
We got to Brenau a little early. Okay, this absolutely cracked me up. A lot. In fact, either it is very late at night, or this is the funniest thing that's happened to me this year.
While waiting to get in the door at Brenau, there's an art gallery next door with a student's work in it. For the most part, the stuff is dark and brooding and much more important than anyone realizes. Think of the Batman song from "The Lego Movie."
ANYWAY, in the middle of the gallery is a big crate. And there are markers there. The crate is supposed to be a place to write meaningful phrases of empowerment for women, right there on the sides. The project is entitled, "Fragile: the Delicate Balance between Women and the World."
So all these empowering quotes about women are all over the sides, from college girls who feel inspired about that sort of thing. Lots of quotes from famous women about women.
So I had Madison sign it. That's the first picture you have to see. She wrote on it, "Be calfurll. Madison."
When they let everyone in, we happily went to our seats - the same seats we had for "The Nutcracker," exactly. These were up front row on the balcony. Perfect for small fries like Madison. She watched the entire thing and really enjoyed it. So did Mommy and Daddy!
There's something infectious about the music. You could call it docious-alli-expedicious-fragically-rupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think? The choreography was spot-on, and things were energetic all the way until they started flying kites. It was a great night - we really had a good time. We even ran into Mary Poppins on our way out the door!
So it was a Jolly Holiday with Mary. And of course a book about Moldilocks and some pi. It was a really, really good day. If there's one thing we all learned, it's this: "Be calfurll."

I'm still laughing at this, even now. I love my daughter even more now. She signed her full name, first and last! With BIG, GIANT letters. After "Be calfurll" with three l's! Amongst all these poignant phrases, there it is, simple and yet profound: "Be calfurll."
And then Mommy wants to me write something too. So up by the word "FRAGILE," she had me write out: "Must be Italian!"

Hopefully you get the joke...
I love these two girls. Art is such a wonderful chance to express yourself, isn't it? Even if that expression is that of a bunch of smarties.
