In case you're not familiar with Pi Day, it rolls around each year on March 14th, or 3-14. Which correlates nicely to the approximation for pi of 3.14. However, this year's Pi Day was the best one since 1915. March 14th, 2015, 9:26:53 am. 3.141592653.
So in honor of the Pi Day of the century, we went all out for the celebration.
March 14th is also Albert Einstein's birthday. Micah is appropriately sporting a diaper named "Albert" that has math equations all over it. I thought about making him a shirt that read, "Come to the nerd side. We have π," but didn't get around to it. So he's shirtless. Maybe next year.
The day started with a well-rounded breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, and sausage. We made sure to use our pi glasses too!
I searched pinterest for some age-appropriate Pi Day activities for the boys, but didn't have much luck. So we came up with our own ideas. (Wait, I had my own, non-pinterest idea?!? I didn't know that was still possible!)
Jeremiah made a circle painting. It's actually the first kid artwork to be hung on the fridge!
I turned a cardboard box into an airplane...
...so the boys could be pi-lots!
Micah made a good co-pi-lot. Jeremiah loves this airplane. It's still hanging around more than a week later. He likes to sit in it and read or be pushed around (like we do with a laundry basket).
Jeremiah also got to be a pi-rate!
I ran around in Apple π socks that were given to me by a math teacher friend.
The same friend sent me these awesome Pi Day nail wraps for my fingernails! I know you're jealous. Get your own.
And Pi Day just wouldn't be Pi Day without some pie! This year, I made two: peach and raspberry rhubarb. (I forgot to take a picture before cutting, so use your imagination. They had π cutouts on top.)
(Get it? I ate some pie.)
Call us irrational. Call us nerdy. We're the Pi Family!
