Pool's Open - Friday March 5th

It's March. Spring can't be far behind. Rowan's ready to try out this backyard. We're learning the many different uses of brush...you  know, tooth or hair.

This month also brings out the March Madness. The Square Pool was opened this week and is filling up quickly. On Selection Sunday the brackets will be released for the Bracket Pool. Hoosier fans can still be a part of the Dance! [SpydeysWebb & College Hoops Net]

Academy Awards are Sunday. Haven't seen many, but we'll be watching the show. I think it'll come down to Avatar and The Hurt Locker for the big ones. Already saw Avatar and watching The Hurt Locker before the show (maybe Inglorious Basterds if we're ambitious) this weekend. The Hurt Locker has some serious war movies to follow if they take Best Picture. [Oscar.com & IMDb.com & SpydeysWebb & LA Times]
