Let's Go Fly A Kite - from Mary Poppins

Mr. Banks:
With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite

Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Bert:
When you send it flyin' up there
All at once you're lighter than air
You can dance on the breeze
Over 'ouses and trees
With your first 'olding tight
To the string of your kite

Londoners:
Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Let's go fly a kite!

The girls were surprised with presents from Bonnie - all the way from Virginia! Thanks Bonnie! They can't wait to fly their new kites and color on the sidewalk with the chalk!

Goin' to the zoo!
Fun with Stella!
Anna and Ella sliding, too!
Anna's favorite - turtles! (Actually some sort of tortoise, but she doesn't know the difference.)

Easter with the Pearsall's!

The funniest part about coloring eggs was the Paul Newmanesque scene Anna enacted. A couple of the eggs broke, so we peeled and ate them instead of coloring them. Anna stuffed a half of an egg into her mouth and proceeded to chew. Before I could grab the camera, out it came, just like Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke. I could only think about how much I wish Jason could have seen that scene - he would have loved it. Wouldn't Uncle Jay be proud of his little Paul Newman-like niece?
