He must love us

To accompany us on our little outing last night. And when I say us, I mean Alli and Abby and 6 of their closest friends. That translates into 8 girls aged 11-14.

Not that he had a choice really. I mean I have a huge honkin' mom-mobile but it doesn't seat that many. And by forcing asking Daddy to come along, Emma and Kathryn got to go too.

Go where? To Jingle Jam 2008!

David Enchilada Ackalotta Archuleta- too stinkin' cute and I'm really hoping he's not going the way of Clay Aiken

Colbie Calliat- boooooorrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnngggggggggg zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Gavin DeGraw- rocked the freakin' house, my new musical crush and he just so happens to have the most awesome concert T-shirt I've ever seen.

Rhianna- the girl can sing but she can also work on her showmanship. Let me wrap up her dance routine for you :bend down, stand up, bang the head, raise the fist, bend backwards. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Chris Brown- dude, AWESOME! You couldn't even see his feet, they were flying so fast. He might want to show his girlfriend some moves.

Special guest host Nick Lachey called out the Dallas Cowboys, I'm not thinking that was a personal shot at his ex-wife at all. And the football reference was probably all Steven was excited about seeing as how he recognized two maybe three songs the whole night.

But he endured the screaming, the squealing, the dancing, and the giggles. All in the name of love. For me, for them. He's a good man. And I owe him big time. Especially after being thrown up on.

Note to self: Emma should not overeat on cookies, popcorn, french fries and nachos just because she's bored. The consequences are not pretty. And lead to 12 people trying to inconspicuously leave the arena pretending they have no idea what's all over the carpet. Dang, we were thisclose to the parking garage.
