For sometime now i have had to come to grips with a few things I am having a 4th child, and not too far off in the future. With that comes several changes I have been postponing, neglecting, or pretty much avoiding because either its a lot of work, time, money or all of the above. so last week i tackled one project (well halfway) I put the girls into 1 room, i still have to get all their stuff organized, but that can wait right? so then i painted my main room, this wasn't necessary per say, but i needed the change, I've been wanting to do it for a long time.
we need a bigger car, the jeep just doesn't cut a family of 6, wow a family of 6!? so we need to sell it, if you know anyone who is in the market for a jeep let me know! (i'm serious) cause we went ahead and bought a new car last night!!!!! i LOVE the car, and its way nicer than i ever imagined getting, but we should be keeping this one for the rest of eternity so it go big or go home right? they had a really great deal going on and we bought more car than of course we planned, but here it is!!!
its a GMC acadia.I haven't driven it more than around the neighborhood because Shaun drove it home and for the test drive, but I'm not worried, i'll get my time in it i'm sure. 7 seats, the kids have a DVD player. its pretty cool, i'm way spoiled and hopefully its nice enough that one day when we can't afford the luxuries of a house we can live in it. now for a few more things to do like, move carter out of the babies room, get clothes down from the attic for both boy and girl, since its a surprise i have to be more than prepared. then clean my house, get my yard and garden done and then, its baby go time! but now we can at least drive home from the hospital as a family! not the best shots, but its cold and i didnt want to open the garage. it fits in the garage by like an inch! no joke! dang shelves he built, love them but they take up a lot of length in the garage.

Sweet ride!
I've always wanted to say that, but that is so not my lingo! Really, that is a very nice car. Congrats!!!
What kind of Jeep is it? We are in the market for a Jeep! Let me know!
Super nice, I am super jealous!
I wish I could be there lending my sisterly help! You know how much I love projects. I'm seeing Page this weekend--she's driving down from school, so it's going to be like old times. As for your reupholstering project, are you using a staple gun or just sewing a slipcover? Because either way I have complete faith in you. You are capable and creative, and I cannot believe you are almost a mom of 4! How crazy is that??
CRAZY!
Fun car though. The 5 of us are still squeezing into the old Camry. I think the time has come for us as well! : )
The Acadia looks so nice. I am sure you will LOVE it. Congrats!
Love the new car!! when are you due?
We are going to try and make it work as a family of 5 in a car that seats 5 for a while now. But, eventually we will NEED to get a larger car! Let me know how you like it long-term, because this car is one of my "picks" for the future.
