I know that I have said that I mainly want to use this blog to talk about my faith and my thoughts, but I just have to tell the world this story. Tonight we had a couple of the boys from our youth group come over and they brought with them the game RockBand. For those who don’t know what that is, it’s like GuitarHero, but it also has a bass guitar, drums and a microphone (in fact I just did a rendition of Bon Jovi’s “Dead or Alive” and got 91% right). For those of you who don’t know what GuitarHero is, you need to enter the new millenium (or look it up on Google or something).
Back to my story: Finnan plays air guitar on his belly all the time because that’s what Jon does every time he hears a song he likes. So when the boys started playing this evening he was getting right into it with them having a blast. Then I went and found his Elmo guitar (it’s a little guitar that used to make noise before we took the batteries out) and it’s a lot like the guitars used in the game and it made Finn’s rocking out that much more hard core. He played with the boys for about an hour and then it was bed time. He actually wasn’t all that upset about going up and brushing his teeth, but after I changed his bum, I took the guitar away and that was the end of the world. Low and behold, tonight my son is sleeping with his teddy, Kezwick, and his Elmo guitar. Oh boy! What a cutie! This is certainly one night that I won’t forget and will probably tell Finnan’s girlfriends!
