Me: We should have seven children, then we’ll be just like the Von Trapp family.
G: We can be like the Bradys and have six, that’ll be just fine.
Brendan: We should be like the family in Yours, Mine and Ours. (For the unintiated, they had 18 when they got married and had two more after that.)

No, not a trip to Rome or winning the lottery, but, are you ready . . .
We’re going to the Sing Along Sound of Music this coming Friday night!
Just listen to the glorious description:
The evening begins with a live show in which your host will lead you through a vocal warm-up, judge the fancy dress competition and award the prizes. Costumes are not compulsory but they are highly recommended and you will be amazed at the inventiveness on display. The host will then show you how to use your free goody bag throughout the film and suggest some appropriate heckles and accompanying actions (such as hissing the countess, barking at Rolf and, of course, cheering for Julie). Then, you sit back and watch the original 1965 movie in glorious Technicolor ™ with the lyrics for all the songs on the screen, so you won’t miss a chance to sing your hearts out.
