The Sound of Music

Did you watch this classic on TV tonite? We happened to flip it on right at the "Do Re Mi" through Salzburg, and I couldn't help myself but to blog my first memeory of this wonderful movie. (It is my all time favorite!) I was about 6 years old, and had some version of the stomach flu. My mom let me stay up late to watch this movie while I sipped 7-Up and she ironed. I remember having to run to the bathroom right at the wedding part! I was devastated! The next day my mom asked me about the movie, and she was amazed that I remembered the entire thing- love at first sight! She pulled out the record album soundtrack, and from there I began my repetoire (sp?) of Sound of Music favorites. I still know all of the words- and now Abby does too! Are you a Sound of Music fan? What's your favorite song? Did you dance around the couches in your living room as a girl pretending they were the gazebo? :-)

I'm definitely a huge SofM fam... I remember pretending I was Brigitta! I would sit forever at a friend's house listening to their record soundtrack wishing we owned it. And finally, as of last Christmas I now own it! Jeremy also got me a super cool hardback Companion book and it has all the info you could ever want...

Hmm, my favorite songs are My Favorite Things and The Lonely Goatherd! I love watching it with my kids too. We're all big fans...
