Extremely (Hot) Makeover Day #2

Day #2 was Demolition Day of Lancaster's Extreme Makeover Home Edition!
The girls and I arrived bright and early, since rumor had it that TY would be"in the house"! We got a little closer..........heard his voice, does that count? We could hear him on that bullhorn, as they filmed the first portions of the demolition segmet, but never got even a glance of him, as he was surrounded by people with hardhats on and cameras! Phooey! Strike 3 for Ty Sightings!!
Everyone was ready....

The DALLAS SWAT TEAM was ready to do most of the demolishing....









The Fire Department was ready for any mishaps....












The helicopters were flying over head...ready...









The camera crews were ready......









The girls...uh...not so much ready for the heat! Hallie had to make an emergency run to the nearest porta-potty before she got sick all over Paulie's sawhorses. (ps).....Have you ever experienced a PORTA POTTY on a sweltering Texas Summer Day? My goodness, I'm quite certain that might be similar to what it's like in the pits of HELL!

Riley fell ill and had to sit in the shade of a trailer on some dry, burned up grass, with her head between her knees, all the while dodging some pesky fireants that kept dawdling in and out of her flipflops!

After about 4-5 takes of the same shot, I made the motherly decision to save my children and not let them melt right in front of my eyes, as they were acting like they were just about to spontaneously combust......we packed up and headed out on our 1hr drive home.


"WOW! That was exciting huh?!" I asked joyfully.
"It was so hot out there, I bet we could fry an egg on the pavement!" they whined ever so sadly.



So we did!
