Madilyn and I have been watching American Idol faithfully from the very beginning of the season. We have watched some of our favorites get voted off each week but Madilyn really wanted David Archuleta to be the next American Idol. We voted SEVERAL, ok DOZENS of times each Tuesday and she had it all planned out, exactly who would be left and when. Well it didn't exactly go her way. I actually wasn't home tonight so I didn't get to hear who won until after my hair appt. I came home and Chris told me her heartbreak. Apparantly they announced David Cook and she was completely shocked repeating "WHAT" over and over again. She then covered her face with her hands. Chris reached over and patted her knee and she started tearing up. Chris pulled her onto his lap and she burst into tears. She was devasted! Ah, to be 8 again! I felt so bad for her and that I had missed the final that I came home at 10:00 and got her out of bed, had her put her jacket and shoes on, and we went to get ice cream. Ice cream makes every girl feel better. We sat in the driveway with the heater on, eatting our ice creams til they were gone and we snuck her back into bed. I'm such a COOL mom!!!!

You are a cool mom!
Oh Boy!! You just gotta love it!! I thought for sure he would win, although I was rooting for Cook. What a sweet moment you two got to share and now remember forever.
Ice cream and I wasn't invited? A little harsh j/k. It's crazy how addicted we get to reality shows!!
Heck yeah your a cool mom... that is so sad and yet so funny that she would react that way, but you said it best " to be 8 again" that's so true...
ice cream--the cure all! It's the little--often spontaneous--things we remember the most!
So sad that she was so sad, you are a cool mom. I wish that was the only thing we had to worry about. What a great story!!
Heather! I'm so excited you have a blog:) (I found it on Tanya's)
Your family is adorable and this post is so dang cute! I bet she'll remember that night forever:)
