"Extreme Makeover Home Edition" House





As you probably know, Extreme Makeover Home Edition is my favorite show!!! Well we heard that they were building a house not too far from where we live. We really wanted to volunteer to help build it but we were a little too late on the draw. By the time we emailed to help they said that they already had too many helpers. We were sad, but also happy that sooo many people wanted to help. So thanks to my great hubby, he did some research on it and found out that they had a spectators area that you could go and watch them build the house. So of course when he told me I was like "well come on, lets go now!!!" So we went up to see the house. All of these pics were taken on the same day. The 2nd day after they started!! It just goes to show how fast they work. Unfortunetly none of the design team was there. They said that Ty was there early in the morning but left by the time we got there. I wanted to go back on Thursday the day before they revealed it, but it was pouring and freezing. I really didn't want to get sick, so we decided to stay home. The show is supposed to air in January sometime. The house was built for a family with I think 3 autistic children. The parents are big into a Little League that encourages children with physical and mental disabilties to play baseball. I was so glad that I had the opportunity to go see the house. I'm sure that was a once in a lifetime chance!!!!!!
