Stuff Cobbs Like #7: Veggie Tales

Veggietales3Cobbs like Veggie Tales.  I am not just talking about Mason and Miles.  The Veggie Tales entertain the whole Cobb family.  Since the boys have been sick, we have been watching a lot of these crazy vegetables lately.  So much so that Miles (3 years old) has the theme song pretty much memorized.  He will just start singing it anywhere.  Today we were at Petco buying Hula another collar (I think this is the 3rd one she has eaten) and Miles starts singing the Veggie Tales theme song.  I think he might have been given the gift of "the voice that carries" just like Erick.  Miles only inherited two things from Erick: his height and a voice that carries.  Anyways, back to the Veggie Tales.  The boys love these movies and Erick and I think they are fun too.  My favorites (and Erick's too) are Madame Blueberry (a lesson in thankfulness/contentment) (Pleasnick might have found his blog name from this movie?) and Esther - the girl who became queen (a lesson in courage).  Mason and  Miles' favorites are Lord of the Beans (a lesson in using your gifts) - this is a spin off of Lord of the Rings and they also really like The Ballad of Little Joe (a lesson in facing hardship).  Mason really did not like Larry Boy and the Rumor Weed!  It gave him nightmares.  The Veggie Tales also have a "Silly Song" in every movie (I think).  My favorite "Silly Songs" are "The Cheeseburger Song" and "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps", but Miles doesn't like the "scary bear" in the Veterinarian Song.  Erick's favorite "Silly Song" is "The Belly Button Song". We have only seen less than half of the Veggie Tales movies so we have a bunch to look forward to when the next wave of sickness sweeps through our house :-)
