Mary Popppins Jr.

The school play this year was Mary Poppins Jr.  They put it all together on a shortened schedule with the performance in January.  Sydney was cast as Ms. Andrews.  In the stage production, Mary Poppins leaves the Banks family and Ms. Andrews (Mr. Banks' former nanny) comes and tries to whip the kids into shape. She makes them take brimstone and treacle instead of a spoonful of sugar.

 Sydney did a great job of being mean and strict.  You'd have never known she was actually so sweet in real life.  She rocked her solo (of course).  The scene where Mary comes back and the two nannies have a bit of a singing battle was one of our favorites. 

As always, Sydney was so fun to watch on stage.  She is so animated and dramatic about everything.  The bright ensemble costumes were also so fun to see on stage.

Taylor tried out for a part but didn't make the cut.  The directors offered to let her join the little kids for one more year.  They were bumblebees who came and danced and cleaned the house during "A Spoonful of Sugar."  It was adorable.

I know I say this every year, but I am so grateful my kids have this opportunity.  What a blessing it has been.  So much work and so much fun!
