Anyone want to take a guess as to why I heart pop tarts this morning? I'll be back around noon to tell you more.
With pictures.
And an explanation of why my girls are all refusing to wash their sharpie marked arms. Oh yes, and why we were riding the midnight train last night.

Here we are about to board the train to Uptown Charlotte with signs in hand. Oh what official fans we are. All signs were made by young teens who ADORE David A. 
Oh and we won't even talk about the faces we got from our kids when we busted out with some of the finest 80'd dance moves evahhhhh! Do you see how absolutely impressed my daughter is with me and my moves. 
Oh the young man that makes all the young girls cry. Sigh. He only makes me cry because I'm old enough to be his mother! He does have a mighty fine voice. And still seems to be shocked that people cheer for him. I like that about this David. 
"Mom, do you see David A. on the stage? It's really him. It's. REALLY him!" Oh young grasshoppers... if you think it's cool to see him way up there on that stage... wait until after the show. 
The two youngest of the group singing their little hearts out. 
After the show, we lined up with the 50 million other adoring fans hoping to get a few autographs. We waited with the 50 million other adoring fans for over an hour. And finally, some of the idols came out to great the 50 million adoring fans. 
Brooke White is just about the cutest little thing you ever did see. She even took time to talk to my little Brooke. They bonded over the fact that they are both called "Brookie" by their friends. 
And then here is my Ashley and Chakeezie... spell check please? 
And here is Ashley with Jason. Do they not look like they could be related or what. All except the hair of course. Oh the hair... honey child, here in the south we have these things called brushes and scissors. 
Michael Johns just about brought the house down. Not kidding. He was REALLY good. 
Another young lady that brought the house down! Carly, you rock sister! 
Oh Siesha. What a doll you are. And to borrow a phrase from my good friend Randy Jackson, she has some pipes that can blow baby! 
And then the heart stopping moment of our girls' childhood... 
"We'll never wash our arms again!"
Or our hands! Here's Brooke with David A's autograph. As we were riding the train home at midnight Brooke exclaimed, "This has been a good year for this hand." This is the same hand that shook Laura Bush's hand in the White House earlier this year when her class went on a field trip to the White House and they just happened to run into Laura and George W.

I'm back. Oh you gals are so clever... Yes, it was the POP TART American Idol Tour.
We felt all grown up and fancy riding the Uptown Train, singing at the top of our lungs, and hanging out until midnight after the concert for the autograph session. Because you know nothing makes middle school girl's hearts skip a beat more than someone who has sung a song or two on the...
TV!!!
SQUEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SQUEAL SOME MORE!!!!!!!!!
Here we are about to board the train to Uptown Charlotte with signs in hand. Oh what official fans we are. All signs were made by young teens who ADORE David A. Side Note: All women in our group closer to the 40 mark... total David C. fans.
But we had no signs. Just really loud and obnioxous screams. That embarrassed the stink out of our kids. We learned well during our Rick Springfield days.

Did I mention the crowds? Have mercy the crowds. Who are all you crazy people staying up until all hours of the night for a few autographs?
Of course, my family of crazies were right in the thick of things! The majority of the cameras, arms and hair ribbons you see in this photo belong to me.

Michael Johns just about brought the house down. Not kidding. He was REALLY good. And from the stage he said, "One reason I really like being in the south is because there are Chick-fil-A's here.
Oh my stars... Michael you can totally come to our store and sing for your supper any ol' time you'd like.
Have your people call my people!

The girl has connections y'all.
Her mama has yet to do half of what she has done and I have lived 4 times as long. Maybe I need to get some new dance moves?
