Extreme Home Makeover

On Saturday Estrella, Mom, Kathy, Tim, Kaitlin and I all went out and helped on the Extreme Home Makeover house! They are in Middleton this week building a new house for a family that really needs it. We sat around and waited for a really long time to be put to work and after what seemed like forever and a little sneaking by us we made it in! They gave us our hard hats and shirts and put us to work! Estrella, Kaitlin and I walked around for the first little while handing out wet towels to the Hot construction worker (tough job let me tell you! :) We then got something to eat in the big tent set up for everyone and got right back to work...this time Kathy joined us and we were all put to work shoveling out manure. I am not even kidding when I say it was like 4 feet deep! We were the tail end of the job finishing it all up and evening it all out. Tim worked on it before us and managed to shower Cory Barton's fiance with manure...made us all laugh! We came away super hot (it was about 104 degrees!), Kaitlin got stung by a wasp and I managed to get two huge blisters on my thumbs. All in all though we had a really good time and really enjoyed being able to help with whatever we could. We are all headed back Tuesday night to help out again. We were so hot after helping with the house that we all went and jumped in the Boise River and floated down a really great part of it in Middleton! We had a great time...I can't think of any better way to spend my Saturday!

It was so sick when I took off my hard hat! I had sweat dripping from my bangs and my hair had a permanent dent in the back from the hat! This is my "I'm so sexy" pose! And NO, that is not sweat all over the front of me! We had sopping wet towels around our necks to keep us cool. Although we did have some great sweat marks on our bras and under shirts...I'm sure you wanted to know that ! :)
