Ok - I think everyone knows we are HUGE Extreme Home Makeover fans at our house. I think everyone probably also knows that I vowed if they were ever building a home within a 250 mile radius of us we'd go. Well, they are building a house in South Range, which is just a little bit south of Superior, Wisconsin, and today the boys and I went to the build!!! It was pretty awesome how they orchestrate everything. On my way there I wasn't sure I was still on the right road (think lonely road) and I came to an intersection and saw a van with an EHM logo in the window and a couple of people who I thought were probably traffic directors. So I pulled up behind them, and lo and behold they were shooting some footage of Paige! She was on the other side of the van where we couldn't see her, but the lady I spoke with asked if the boys wanted to get out and speak with her and we were like, "YES!!" We jumped out and made small talk and then I got a great pic of Noah and Paige!!!!! She was very nice and didn't seem to rush us at all - Caleb got a little shy and didn't want his picture taken! Then they pointed us in the direction of the house. After parking in a field nearby we walked over to the house and were told right away by a lady whose hubby was working in the house that Paulie and Ty weren't there today. We were bummed, but after getting to met Paige it didn't really matter. :) We just watched and the boys played with some friends we ran into and had a great time. All of a sudden I realize that off to the side they are shooting footage of Eduardo! So we headed that direction and watched them shoot the same thing at least 6 times. Then he headed over to where we were!! There was a rush of people, so we kind of herded into the group and eventually the boys got up to him and he signed their hats and then told them he liked their hair cuts!! (They both have mohawks again.) He was also very polite and kind - the picture is of him signing Noah's hat and you can see the tippy top of Noah's head in the foreground. The last picture is (as Noah puts it) the boys "freaking out because we got Eduardo's autograph!!!" :)
What a fun, fun day. You all HAVE to go if it's ever near you. :) :)
