Technology is amazing.. one of the funnest new things we discovered at Alexis's was the game Rockband! You need a singer, a drummer and a guitar player.. and the songs they perform are all old rock songs, like Creep, Wanted Dead or Alive, 29 fingers, MIssissippi Queen and the like.. The kids were amazing, you actually learn to play instruments and follow the words and they score you on how well you do.. oh and it's also about reading, so technically it is educational and super fun.. right up our alley!
We got to have my niece Hope for a whole week, we had a blast playing at the beach, going to homeschooler park day, celebrating Luc's birthday, attending Jenn's 7th birthday party and of course playing Rockband! Hard to believe Hope will be 11 in September, I still remember Steve and I were celebrating his birthday at a sushi bar in Manhattan Beach when we got the call that Hope had arrived, we drove straight to the hospital and had her in our arms 45 minutes after she was born.. that was the best birthday ever. For the next 2.5 years, Hope spent the weekends with us, giving her mom (who was 21 and just a bit overwhelmed with motherhood) a needed break. Her Aunt Jojo who was 31 and oh so ready to be a mom was so thrilled to pick her up every friday afternoon and play mommy every weekend. What a gift that was to share such amazing time with baby Hope and every summer she gets to spend at least a week with us.. life is groovy!
