They Might Be Giants: Here Come the ABCs…this is our kids’ favorite CD. Come to think of it… it’s one of my favorites too! I think every family with kids should have it; each and every song is so contagious. It’s educational too. Listen to some. Here’s a little video of Elijah singing his favorite – “The Alphabet of Nations.” I love how serious he is about the whole thing. (Zeke’s favorite is “E Eats Everything.” In the song E eats all the other letters except the letter Z, and then Z eats Es. Can you guess why it’s his favorite?)
P.S. Ok, so the inundation of videos didn’t quite come into fruition for this week. 
Dave’s been really busy…good busy though. His main role here on campus is “growing” a 24/7 house of prayer. (I’ve written about it before.) His team just recieved an $80,000 donation to redo the prayer room! Wow! Most of the money (I think) is going towards a new sound system, but they are also doing a bit of remodeling. Dave and the guys on his team actually did most of the demolition and rebuilding themselves. It’s pretty impressive.
Wow, Elijah, you have a strong memory! Can you point out all those countries on a map, too? Maren is really into maps and loves to find the shapes of countries in other things, like pieces of bread that look like Bolivia.
P.S. Zeke, E Eats Everything is Malcolm’s favourite, too!
Well maybe I could point out some of them BUT NOT ALL. Oh and I think it might be hard to make Canada with bread you’d half to make all those little islands!
Thanks for the terrific video, Elijah. I have never heard the ABC’s sung like that but now I will be buying the CD for my granddaughters in Calgary, AB.
I was watching your video here at Hillside Church with your Grampie Horsman and I told him it would be great to see a music video starring Phoebe and the Prophets!! Mom and Dad could be in the video also. Costumes and props would be optional, of course! Just something to think about on a cold rainy day like today in the Maritimes.
You’re right, Canada would be a challenge with bread. She mostly sticks to continents or landlocked countries… although she found Florida last week, too.
