Jordan's usual spot to hang out. Can anyone guess?

The house is coming along further and further every time you see it.

This is channel 8 and their news truck. They invited Callie last night to watch her TV clip from that night in the truck.

Benefit event tonight at the fair grounds. These are all the Extreme Team members.

Oh my goodness. Where do I start today? All of these days seem to be running together. To start off we had the latest sleep in day since we've been here. I think we are running low on sleep. We didn't have to be on set till 1:00PM. We missed hotel breakfast and decided to go to IHOP. We then loaded the shuttle to the set and everybody went. The boys missed yesterday because they went shopping with Grandma and didn't want to miss today.

We arrived and got Callie in her hard hat and tool belt (thank you Debbie and Kelly). She was taken down to the house with Mark to tour the house with Paige. Everything in the house is a surprise. Callie has been sworn to secrecy not to talk about what she saw and filmed. I know she did some stuff with each designer (Paul, Paige, Eduardo) and filmed stuff with each of them. Once out of the house she had a break so we went to the dinning hall and had lunch. Everyday they serve really good stuff. Chicken, lasagna, potatoes, corn, salad, chips, drinks, cake. Callie is getting a lot of calories.

We went back up to her trailer and along the way they allow the public to watch some of the progress on the home. It was after school time and some of the kids were saying "I think that is Callie" They were waving and Callie went over to talk to some of them. There were two boys who wanted their picture with her. She was a little embarrassed (she still thinks boys are gross) but was happy to know that people knew her name and could recognize her.They asked for her signature, she has been working on that for the past couple of days, and she felt like a star. Back to the trailer to wait. Outside she could see Tim walk by with some groups who were getting a tour of the set. Tim had Callie come outside to meet them they all pulled out their cell phones and were flashing pictures of her. We were then told we would be heading over to the fair grounds for a continuation of last nights benefit fund raiser for Make-A-Wish. Callie and Mom and Dad were all able to ride in the star shuttle. We rode with Paul, Paige, and Eduardo. We did have to wait while Eduardo went to the "Crafty" for some cheese. He had a box of crackers and wanted some cheese to go with them. Callie was joking with him about making us all wait while he went to get "cheese". All the other designers were laughing that she would call him on that.

At the benefit tonight they were auctioning off a ford truck. Ethan and his family would be showing up for that too. It took a couple of takes to get it just right. They had the builders sit on the row behind the Starkweather family and then our family and then the MAW people. Callie was placed right between the two builders wives and right behind Ethan.

Earlier Callie got to introduce herself to Ethan on the "Ty Cam". The Starkweather family must have seen that while they were at Disney World. Tonight when they came to sit down in front of us, Amy the mom saw Callie and turned Ethan around to see and said. "Here is Callie Here's Callie right here." They were able to do a quick hand shake and meeting before more filming. I was shocked because I didn't know that they were aware we were even there. It was a touching moment for me to see how excited they were to see Callie and meet her. I think there will be an official meeting tomorrow.

After the benefit we came back to the hotel got in the cars for some dinner. It was about 10:00 PM before we were able to sneak in the doors of Cracker Barrel to get some dinner. Back to the hotel for treatments, bath and bed. I get to blog. I am super tired so if none of this blog makes sense, we will blame it on NO SLEEP!
