Rockband!

I really don't know why we don't play our Beatles Rockband all of the time. We all love it.



Last weekend we had a full house of boys. I was a little worried about keeping them all entertained...but luckily I had the foresight to get a new Wii controller at Target earlier that day so that we could hook up Rockband.


All of the boys loved it.

Even Evan - who was dancing around and singing.

It did get a little loud...but who cares?

We all had a blast!


The boys and I are already thinking about our next Rockband party.

The next morning I took some of the boys with me to Bosa for doughnuts. Ben, Christian and Ian stayed home. When we got back, they had the highest scores. I guess the magic combination is Ben on guitar, Christian on drums (of course) and Ian on vocals.

Now I think I need to add another guitar for Rockband to my Christmas list. That way someone can play bass and someone can play guitar. I can't wait!

What the world needs

I played Rock Band for the first time on New Year's Eve. Rock Band, where have you been all my life???? Seriously.I did try guitar, but liked vocals much better. I think that has something to do with me having no pride. And not caring how horribe I sounded. Because dude, I got to sing Drain You (Nirvana), The Middle (Jimmy Eat World), Today (Smashing Pumpkins) and Whatcha, Whatcha Want (Beastie Boys). I even won an award. A good one (I think). I was so bad, but man I felt like a rock star.

Brian took over after a while - Evan and Rowan were getting into too much trouble unsupervised. I think Brian was in heaven singing all those Pearl Jam songs.

Jared and his friend Taylor rocked!!! They did expert with no problem. They are my idols. I'm thinking about asking Jared for Rock Band lessons. (We had it set up downstairs and upstairs so lots of people could play at the same time.)

That was one of the funnest New Year's Eves EVER. Even though I went home early with the little kids, I still had a blast. And I owe it all to Rock Band. I'm saving up to buy it. Because a family that plays Rock Band together, stays together.

Or didn't you know?
