We like any excuse to celebrate a holiday, the wackier the better. But even for us this was a busy week: National Pi Day (celebrating our irrational love of blueberry pie), National Popcorn Lover's Day (hey, isn't this every day?), The Ides of March (beware of those! wait, what exactly are those?), and St. Patrick's Day. When you live in a city that dyes its river green in honor of the patron saint of the Irish, it's hard not to get excited about that last one. Especially when the celebration involves wearing silly hats and bow ties and green beads

When a movie comes available for rent it is often worth watching 3 times in a 24 hour period. Yet it can also be said that the true magic may lie in the dance party that is inspired by the post movie credits.

 This one is fascinated with youtube tutorial videos, and with the making of them.  I look at this picture and I hear: "Hey! Welcome back to Baelin's Great Adventures!" afterwards you are introduced to many great and wonderful things including house and car trip tours, pets, and of course, gameplay videos.  "Thanks for watching!  If you enjoyed this video, click the subscribe button.  Good bye!"

She prefers being at home and needs lots of time alone. She is quiet and observant, thoughtful and sensitive. She prefers small groups and for things to never change. She is anxious amid strangers and small talk. She only likes to leave the house for her beloved drama class. Here she is as Daphne, alongside Velma (Fenna), after her drama group grande finale performance of Scooby Doo and the Mystery of the Frozen Tropics. I watched her confidently act her part, saying her lines loud and proud, her long legs striding across the "stage" and I'm thinking......"WTF?"
I just love these surprises.

We've been sprucing up for spring (and visitors)

(And don't let me near the pressure washer - I don't know when to stop!)

We celebrated St Paddy's day with spuds, ice-cream and a small pot o' chocolate-gold on top.
