Rock Out!!

Lehr had to sneak out to a meeting tonight, so the kids and I were on our own for the last hour before bed. That meant only one thing: our version of "Rock Band". Eli and Maddux alternated picking songs for me to load up in iTunes and they sang, played guitar and banged on the imaginary/make-shift drum set. Good stuff.

Eli started with some "Counting on God"...he's in a bit of a holding pattern with that song right now. And it's so cool to watch him play the drums to it because he has all of the little off-beat licks down and everything! Maddux chose some Lady Ga Ga, as she usually does these days. (Maybe "Paparazzi"?) Then Eli moved on to Foo Fighters' "Everlong". He changed from drums to guitar at this point and REALLY rocked out.

Before we started tonight, Eli was quite concerned about a microphone. Lehr put one together for him over the weekend, but it was hard for it to stay on the stand....the weight was too much for the tape to hold. So I told Eli that often times drummers and guitar players wore head set microphones. So we stuck a pencil (which is usually a drumstick) into the side of his baseball cap and he was set.
