AUTOGRAPHS FOR A PSYCHO LITTLE FAN

There was a group of people waiting outside after the show.  Pyper was sure that they were waiting for autographs.  So there we stood.  For an hour and a half.  In t-shirts.  Until almost midnight.  Pyper and Elle were the only kids there.  I'm sure all the other GOOD PARENTS had their kids home sound asleep by then.  Lucky for Pyper, I don't happen to be one of those good parents.  The entire time we stood there people were asking the girls if they were cold.  Pyper kept saying, "We're from Idaho, we can handle it."  About 11:45 the "celebrities" (Pyper's word) started coming out one at a time.  Pyper yelled out at all of them, and successfully got every single autograph.  Told you... she's a crazed fan.  The tour staff kept announcing that the dancers weren't going to pose with anyone.  They did with the girls.  Guess it pays to be a cute kid.  Most of these pictures aren't very good. :(  Apparently I don't know how to take pictures in the dark.

RANDI- "oh my goodness you are so cute."

pyper  "thank you.  I'm from Idaho, which is right by Utah.  My cousins go to BYU."

randi  "that's so cool... I've been to BYU."

KAYLA.  I'm not sure weather she was bratty or shy.  Either way, she was nice to the girls... just a little hard to read.

JANETTE was BY FAR the nicest most adorable one of the bunch.  She stood there and talked to Pyper until one of the tour staff told her she should move on.  She was engaged in a major conversation with the girls, and I could have taken her home with us.

This is Pyper standing on the gate waving her arm and yelling like a lunatic.  We were pretty much in the center, so they were starting on one side or the other... but a few of them went to her first.  She was loud.  The whole night, I was wondering "who is this kid?"

BRANDON  "Hi girls.  Did you like the show?"

pyper  "YES!  We LOVED it.  You smell really good."

brandon laughing hysterically

pyper  "I didn't know that boys could smell good, but you do."

brandon  (still laughing)  "Thank you.  No one has ever said that before."

pyper  "Well you're a really good dancer too."

ADE was also SUPER nice.

JEANINE was Pyper's favorite from the beginning.

CAITLIN  should have made it further.  She was incredible to watch.  Seriously amazing.

MELISSA told Pyper that she looked like a ballerina, which TOTALLY made Pyper's day.

EVAN and PHILLIP were pretty funny...

... this is them having a little conversation.

Evan  "Phillip did you know that you were the only person I voted for?"

Phillip  "Seriously?"

Pyper LOVES Evan.  She loves Broadway.  My Fave sister in law calls him a gnome.  hehe.  Pyper does NOT agree.  When he walked away she excitedly told me how he put his arm around her.

We left Austin a little after 1 am with two very happy, very sleepy girls.  I got a little glimpse at what my life with Pyper is going to be like.  She's a rock star.  Seriously.  She was determined to get ALL the autographs... and she did.  She could have stayed at it all night.  Elle was ready to go LONG before, but there was no way Pyper was leaving.  It was such a fun night.  I love these girls, and love that they would rather hang out with me than with anyone else.
