Guess What Movie We've Been Watching...

Here are a few hints. Each night before bed, Delia curls up on the floor and says in her little Delia language, "The sun has gone to bed and so must I. Goodbye!" She waves and makes me carry her to bed like a "bee-bee."

Ella spreads her arms and spins around the living room singing, "The hills are alive!" Then she puts on her new dress-up dress, the one with like 5 layers of swirly petticoats, and dances around singing, "I am sixteen going on seventeen." Our favorite is Ella's request of Captain Von Trap at the party: "I'd like to stay and taste my first adult drink. Yes?" Delia always shoots her down with an intentional, "NO!" And, of course, she gets her "banjo" out of the sporting goods tub and sits on her stool for this performance...

Weeks ago, The Sound of Music was on TV. The little part my girls watched with me was enough to make them fall in love. We actually own this movie and discovered that one of our DVD's special features was a play list of just the songs. We've been in Fraulein Maria imagination world almost every day. We even dragged out the old VHS of Dave as Frederick from when our high school performed this musical!
