On Thursday, Maile and I are jumping on a plane and headed down to Hollywood to watch a live taping of American Idol! We’ve been watching the show for a few seasons now and its something we really enjoy doing together (you might recall last year we went to see the tour when it came around). This is the final season of American Idol, so I thought it might be fun to try to get tickets to a taping. Long story short, a friend works at Fox Sports and was able to help out. Leading to a very cool Daddy and Maile adventure.

Maile is very excited. As of last night her bag is already packed (and tonight she asked if we could review everything again to make sure we didn’t forget anything). Her outfit is all picked out, but she’s still deciding on what Daddy should wear – stay tuned.

In the meantime, the other big project this weekend was to create a poster for Maile’s favorite contestant, La’Porsha. She went through quite a process over both Saturday and Sunday to get it together, but I think you’ll find that it came out amazing…

Maile started on a 8x11 sheet of paper and got the basic design together - I then showed her how to use a ruler to space out the words nicely...

We then headed down to the store and picked up some poster board and Maile set to work translating her design to the poster board in pencil...
