We got a new TV. It’s one of those big flat screen thingies that you hang on the wall. It is pretty impressive. Since we’ve had our old TV (the only one we have in our house) for over 12 years we thought it was time to upgrade!
The very first thing we broke out on our new TV was a new DVD. Veggie Tales’ new compilation DVD called Happy Together. It’s basically just 3 past episodes–Sheerluck Holmes, Esther and Grapes of Wrath. (I love the Grapes of Wrath song, it cracks me up!) So, it’s a themed DVD focusing on faith, family and friendship! (How great would that be for the Letter F?)
What’s fun about this (and makes it better than just a little compilation) is that there is a cartoon woven throughout the show where real kids are interviewed but they are veggies. Wait, that’s not right. Real veggies are interviewed, but they are actually kids. The point is–kids were interviewed and now look like veggies. *sigh* You’ll just have to see it to understand it!
My kids wanted to watch all 80 minutes of it at once. Instead, we just watched one section (oh, and a silly song, too! I forgot there are silly songs on it!) and the kids were ecstatic that the scripture for Sheerluck Holmes was Proverbs 17:17–their Dragon and Turtle verse!

It makes me happy when I finally understand a word or two that my 9 year old son with autism has been repeating to me !!!
Watching my twins play pretend! There’s always something fun! Yesterday they were playing ballerina pirate princesses…that’s just fun!
Happiness to me is watching my children grow in Christ!
What makes me happy is hearing my kids be polite with others. It lets me know that they have heard what I’ve told them and it’s sinking in.
What makes me happy is being able to stay home with my son and spend all day with him! Love watching him grow and learn everyday!!
a hot latte makes me happy!!! It is tooooo cold here!!!

What makes me happy is hearing my kids playing nicely together, laughing and giggling and carrying on!
My husband is home after a LONG business trip!
Spending time with my family makes me happy..
When my son (is 5) jumps into the car on Sunday after Church and shares his Sunday school activities then tells us his Bible verse for the week. Yes he does tell it to us everyday so we know he remembers it. I Praise the Lord for my Blessing and he makes me happy
I am the most happy when i get to spend time with my family! WE enjoy scootering the park and swimming at the pool.
my baby girl makes me soooooo happy
I am happy when I can step away from the situation and see that my family gets it! They need Christ forever not just for my season. My children’s ages range from 21 to 6 years plus a 9 month old “grand”daughter. We have wonderful memories that include VEGGIE TALES! Thanks for everything along the journey.
I have enjoyed the Christian values that Veggie Tales has taught people. Keep up the good work.
We have just started dvds with my toddler and he loves Veggie tales.
I love the comment my almost 4 year old grandson told his mom when she kissed him and it looked like he was rubbing it off. His mom said, “Why are you rubbing my kiss of?”, and he said, “I’m not rubbing it off, I’m rubbing it in.” How precious is that!
Listening to a prayer my three year old began with no prompting makes me happy. S sweet that he is learning the power of prayer so early!
When my son rushes over to kiss me or calls Mommy,Mommy (he’s 22 months) or when my husband kisses me out of the blue 🙂 silenttributary at yahoo dot com
Amanda, in response to your question, can say that your blog does? :0)
As a parent of a now precious eight-year old, I’ve always enjoyed and appreciated your blogs..they’ve helped me to know that being a parent is a learning process and that God is the most important resource we have to help our kids. I was touched by the way your blogs began and I know countless other have been blessed by them as well!
Just last night, my daughter Kayla had a few of her friends over to make some homemade pizzas..we were all having so much fun tossing dough and flour around..short to say making them was the best part! After dinner, they played for a bit and then Kayla asked me to put on a movie for them. When I asked her which one she wanted she said “Esther” from Veggie Tales. Of all the animated films available for kids today, she still loves those Veggies and I know I do as well!
When I saw your post today, I just had to share how much we appreciate your online ministry and to share our special moment yesterday with you and all your blog readers.. Thank You Amanda!!! :0)
Craig, thank you so much. You have no idea how encouraging your comment is. Sometimes I hit publish and wonder if my words just go off into cyberspace! Honestly, thank you.

Our family has been very passionate about raising our daughter for the Lord, so your investment to help all the parents like us is simply invaluable!
What makes me the happiest is when everything that could go wrong, has and my little one just knows that Mama is sad or tired and he comes over and gives the biggest hug and kiss. Somehow it makes it all worth it.
How cool! What makes me happy? That is when I get free products for review in the mail, especially music. 🙂
Hearing my grandchildren laugh can brighten the worst day and make me happy!
We love the Veggie Tales! I love that I don’t have to worry about NOT leaving the room when it is on, plus I love watching it as much as the kids!!!
I love that my 11 month old daughter lights up with excitement when I put Veggie Tales on! Just the little bit of joy we get from watching it together and the fun we have while I sing along and she watches is priceless!
The packers are going to the superbowl which makes my husband happy…& that makes me happy! 🙂
So many things make me happy- our 2 girls, spending time with hubby, and getting to teach the wonderful group of kids in our youth group.
