Throw those curtains wide

 

my favorite song for the past three months. 
my kids love to listen to it on the way to school…LOUD.

driving into the bright rising sun… 
ready for a new day… 
i look back and sean is playing "air violin" 
annie says "this is my favorite part mom"…the violin solo. 
my favorite line is "kiss me like a final meal…"

"it's looking like a beautiful day"

(even if you did have to make two of your kids walk to school for being disrespectful to their mother)


sildenafil citrate 100mg - What pitch is the violin chromatic tuner supposed to be on when I tune my violin?
I’m trying to tune my violin and I don’t know what pitch, I’m supposed to set my chromatic tuner on….. 440, 435, 460. Please advise.

Jen - I’m SO HAPPY to have refound your blog!! I got a new computer and couldn’t remember the web address. Anyhoo, LOVE THAT SONG (and thanks for helping me “refind” that too. Goin on my IPod tomorrow!). I love how everyone looks in the video–normal, talented people, having fun with what they’re doing. Nice.

Chad Gifford - Hey, I wanna play a violin solo!
Meg, its Chad and Kay!
How are you?
Your pictures are amazing. We love you guys and really miss you..

Lori Quicke - Love this band! My husband interviewed Guy Garvey, the lead singer, a few years ago for his British music show. If you like this kind of music you should listen to his show – Britsound.com!

sara - what a beautiful song. thanks for sharing it!

Ruth - Hooray for Elbow! Such nice blokes too.

Kelly - This has absolutely nothing to do with this post but after months of visitng your great blog I just noticed your “Our House” album on your sidebar. Oh my word! You have the best house in the world! I am absolutely in love with every single nook & cranny of it. It’s fantastic! I am especially jealous – in the most Christian sense of the word of course 🙂 – of your awesome kitchen. Wow! I’ve always liked the idea of the couch and chair thing in the kitchen. It looks like a great place to grow a family! Thanks for sharing!

Wendy - Meg! I love this! I’ve never heard it before. Thank you. xox

gina entz - never heard it. now i love it.
i like the walk to school idea. if only it wasn’t just a walk through our backyard to get to school. my kids would probably think it was a punishment if i drove them to school. hmmm…now you got me thinking…nope, never mind, there’s no way i’m driving them. that’s too much work!

Susan - I’m so glad I took the time to listen!
Loved it.

MGF - I agree the rain would be perfect. Cloudy here so close.

Ryanne Toland - HI Meg, Found your blog from the Mcclenahans, and I love it. Your photos and posts always make me so happy. Thank you.

Julia - Great song – thanks for the tip. I needed to remind myself about the beautiful day this morning – I was getting grumpy carrying two tote bags, a beach umbrella and a 3 year old across the biggest sand dune ever to get to the beach. I should have been telling myself “it’s a beautiful day. you’re at the beach” but I wasn’t.

Michelle - Too funny that your kids had to walk to school. Good for you.
Great song. Thanks for sharing the video.

Chasity - great song….may have to throw that one onto my playlist.
have a super day.
oops, i mean a beautiful day.
🙂

Laura - yes. a beautiful day indeed.
(COME ON OVER…I HAVE MY FIRST GIVE AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!)

a thorn among roses - i like it…i like it a lot!!! and you know, sometimes having a beautiful day starts with just a simple reminder. 🙂

Joni - BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for posting. I made my kids walk home once for disobeying and quarreling in the car. It’s a memory they still laugh and talk about today, now that they’re all grown up, that is!
XOXO
Joni

Lori Danelle - I didn’t know anyone else listened to Elbow!!!
This is getting scary! I’ve been listening to them since their Asleep In the Back album that came out in 2002.
Love this song!!

mom - Love this. Thanks for the new song.

Mindy Harris - This song is precious; perfect way to start the day.
The first thing I do in the morning (besides brush my teeth) is draw open all the curtains in the main areas (all, as in 2–my house is small!)

Jess - Great song….wishing that it wasn’t raining here.
Walking to school…just had to make the oldest do that the other day, for being late all week! Miss your ride. You must walk. Lucky for her we are a hop, skip and a jump from school! They should be walking anyway!

traci - LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! AND im shocked you made them walk for being disrespecful….I didnt think you did that kind of thing. Thats more my thing and Im alot meaner than you are BY FAR 🙂
