Today is March 14 (3.14), known to geeky people everywhere as "Pi Day." The boys told me last week that they needed a circle treat for math class. They will be finding the circumference of the circle items brought from home. What a fun idea. They specifically asked for Rolo cookies. That was great until I found out that they needed Rolo cookies for the entire class. Both Josh and Ethan have the same math teacher so we're looking at 50+ cookies for their two separate classes. Time consuming, but doable.
Yesterday at 3:30, when Ryan came home, I happened to mention that it was pi day today and that I was making the boys cookies. He got a horrific look on his face and being the geeky math teacher, told me that he promised the kids in his math classes that they would have a party on pi day. And that they needed pie. Yes Pie. So not only do I need to make oodles of cookies, but 10 pies just got thrown into the mix. So from 4:00 to 10:30 I'm shopping, measuring, mixing, forming, spreading and baking lots and lots of pi day treats. Ah, the things that we do for our family.
So have a happy Pi day. Go get yourself a pie to celebrate. Everyone needs a reason to have pie.
