Baby #3

We still have a week and a half till we find out if we are having a boy or girl (Novemeber 21st). I thought it would be fun to find out what you all thought. (Especially you Josh, if you read this blog. Since you were very confident and right when guessing the sex of both RJ and Savannah. You were the only who was sure Savannah would be a girl.)
So I am thinking boy because my pregnancy started out much similar to when I was pregnant with RJ. However, when I was pregnant with RJ everyone I knew was having girls and we were the only one having boys. Now everyone I know is having a boy, so does that mean we will be the odd ball again and have a girl? What do you all think?
RJ is hoping for a baby brother. He is very excited either way. But he told me he will be more happy if it is a brother. He is always hugging and kissing my tummy. We have asked him for name ideas. His first thought was Egg for a boy. Now think of that with our last name............. Yep, Egg Wight (White). We told him to think of something else. His next idea was Nickey. Which is much better then Egg. I like the name Nicholas, but there are others I have thought of that I like better.
I asked RJ to think of some girl names, just in case. I am trying to prepare him to not be to disappointed if he does get another sister. His first name was Snow, which is an OK name if your last name wasn't Wight. I am beginning to feel sorry for RJ's kids. His second pick is Redding Riding Hood. We are going to have to work on thsoe girl names.
Savannah on the other hand is very in different to the thought of having a new baby. She either doesn't get it yet, which is very understandable or she really doesn't care. She is a typical two year old and the world revolves around her big time. She is going to be in for a really shocker next Spring.

New Flooring

As we get ready to sell the house for our big move, we have some projects that need to get done. One of which was replacing this horrible tile flooring. This flooring was brand new when we moved in. It is the very thin cheap peal and stick linoleum. The corners have peeled away and chipped off. Part of the problem is also the fact that the floor itself is uneven. Welcome to an old house. Here is a picture of the old floor:

A few weeks back Jared bought a bunch of rolls of nice new linoleum sheets that were on clearance. We got enough sheets to cover the kitchen, office space, & laundry room. (The tile in the bathroom isn't so bad and we were going to leave it.) However, the sheets we got were all a little different in pattern but very similar in color. Jared was sure that it would look ok, I still wasn't too convinced. But we were trying to save money as well as get new flooring that the house desperately needed.
The project kept getting put off and the new linoleum sat in the garage for a few weeks. Finally the week of Halloween Jared, with the help of a friend, got the project started. It took him all night to rip the off the floors.
He then decided that he didn't have enough linoleum and went back to find another roll that matched one of the rolls we already had. While at the flooring store, he decided to change his plans and buy a large sheet, regular price, so that everything could match! Hello, why didn't we do that in the first place???? So now we have four rolls of linoleum sitting in the garage unused, and we can't return them. And we spent way more money then we had planned on. But the flooring does look great. I love it and am very pleased with the way it turned out.

RJ of course had to help. He wants to be a builder when he grows up so he can build stuff just like daddy. He was excited to help roll out the floor and clean up extra glue spots. He took his job seriously.

The new floor, doesn't it look great!!??

Seriously, does anyone need linoleum? We have enough for a small kitchen or bathroom.

Thursday night we went to Boo at the Zoo. This week has been so nice. I think it was the first Halloween we had with warm weather.

A lot of little kids were excited to see Strawberry Shortcake. One even went chasing after Savannah and her mom grabbed her and we heard her explain "No, that is a little girl in a costume, not the really strawberry shortcake." It was really funny.

The kids enjoyed fun crafts and games as well as the candy. Most of the animals were wake and about during the night. It was fun to see them.

This was my year to take the kids out trick-or-treating and so according to Jared, I had to dress up to. I had an old black cat tail and ears, perfect for a last minute costume. It was such a warm night I was so amazed that Idaho could have good weather for Halloween.

RJ and Savannah had a blast. RJ had a list of houses he wanted to visit and Savannah pointed to each house saying "That one next"
