bathroom tile

We finally have gotten around to one of the last things that we wanted to do as home upgrades. All of our bathrooms have linoleum in them, and we wanted to put some tile in them. We do only have one bathroom done, with 2 more to go, but I have loved the difference and feel that it gives.

Here is the bathroom with the old linoleum...

and here is the after. After looking at the pictures it doesn't seem like much of a change. The tile is close to the same design and color as the linoleum. (Which is why we have waited so long to do the floors, because it wasn't that ugly of linoleum.) Next, on to our bathroom so we can get rid of the carpet where our tub is. And not have to worry so much about the kids splashing, and when they get out of the tub making big puddles.

cravings

It seems every time I get pregnant I kind of crave the same things. One thing is peperoncini peppers with Baked Lay's. I really would eat this even if not pregnant too. The salt of the chips balances out the hotness of the peppers.

Any way, one afternoon while eating this, Sofia was bound and determined to have one. No matter what I said or did, I was not going to change her mind. So to let her realize on her own that she wouldn't like it, I gave her one. She actually liked it...

and sucked and gnawed on it for awhile.

And then... the hotness sunk in.

She did come back for another one a little later, and that one didn't last as long as the first one.

more babies

So speaking of babies, we are happy to announce that we will be having baby #4 due on September 10th. We had our first appointment on Thursday and the baby was measuring ahead 4 days. No surprise really there since with all the other ones they have been the same. I am just praying that this baby doesn't get bigger than 10 pounds.

babies

This little girl loves her babies.

Not sure what she was doing with them here, but I turned around and found her and her babies like this...

You would think that she would play with the new babies that she got for Christmas. But no, she always has one of these old ones that I got at a garage sale a few years back.

The bigger one the kids have named "big baby", from off of Toy Story 3. The other day someone had managed to push one of her eyes down too to look just like it.

what's goin' on

Things have been a little slow around these parts. It is freezing cold outside and the last 2 days we have had Snow Days due to the storm that blew through. Where did we move to!?

But we are enjoying ourselves around here. The other day while lying on the couch, Livy was over on the other one across from me. And this is what I saw...

just two little feet poking out.

trouble

Don't let these cute little faces fool you...

they are trouble. But even when they are in trouble, they are still the cutest things.

childrens museum

Yesterday since it was Martin Luther's King Day, Jaedon of course didn't have school, but Jon also was able to get the day off as well. So we ventured out to the Children's Museum. The kids always see commercials for it on PBS and are always begging to go. They loved it, and there was a ton to do and see.

Jaedon loved the ball place. Some energy science part.

the artist at work

This one cracked me up. She looks like she is hanging on for dear life, but she really isn't. She is the daredevil of the family.

See what I mean... head first.

Afterwards we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, (thanks to Aunt Liz) and the kids got some balloon creatures. Other than the awesome rolls and honey butter, I think that is the only reason why the kids like going, so they can see the balloon lady.
