Rock Band

We have stumbled onto this fantastic secret - Rock Band. Everyone has heard of Guitar Hero by now, but we decided to go one step further this Christmas and branch out to RB. It is very similar to Guitar Hero, but instead of just playing songs on lead guitar for points, they've added drums, bass guitar, and vocals. My sons have it hooked up to the XBox 360. Here's the best part - and don't tell them I told you this - Michael and Steven actually play this TOGETHER. Dan and I realized a couple of days ago that our house has been so PEACEFUL for the past few weeks. I'll be cooking dinner, Dan will be working on the laundry, and the boys will be holed up in Michael's room working on songs together. Once in a while, I'll hear classic rock songs being SUNG by my sons, whereas they previously wouldn't be caught dead even humming a tune along with the car radio.
