with the Sound of Music…

This movie is a favorite of mine and I watched it every year on TV growing up. I let my girls stay up til midnight the other night watching it with me - their first time! I had to explain a bit of it to them but for the most part, they got it and really enjoyed it. I guess the concept of a musical is not something my 7 year old was aware of, because she commented “Why does she have to SING about everything? Can’t she just talk?” And when they did the song “A few of my favorite things…”, Grace said, “sounds like more than a FEW of her favorite things, that’s a LOT of favorites!”

Hee hee.

I explained to my girls that the young lady playing Maria was the same actress who played Mary Poppins, and is now playing a grandmother in Princess Diaries (one of their favorite movies!). Didn’t help me feel any younger
