  QOTW:  Love my house!  We just built and moved into our current home a year ago.  This is the 2nd house we built together and I'm not planning on doing it ever again, so yes, this is our forever home!!  We have plenty of room for more kids and other areas in the house we could finish, if we needed extra room.  I'm sure when our children are grown, we will move again into something smaller though.

  I am sharing a Halloween costume picture since I didn't get a chance to last week. We went out of town the next day to visit family in St. Louis, and the next picture is just after we landed. We had a crazy few days just getting to Missouri because we were in terminal 3 at LAX when the shooting happened. Super crazy, but so glad we are okay. 

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  QOTW: We love our home. We just moved into it in March. We are planning to be here for a long time. It's 4 bedrooms so plenty of room for everyone. The next project on our to-do list is a new double sink vanity for our master bathroom and then painting the exterior. We just finished the landscaping and pool project, so it will be a little while. We gutted and remodeled our first house ourselves, so we are enjoying a little break from home projects

  @mdiblassi10 - that is AWFUL. I am so glad you are all safe.

  I love that the new format on TB makes it easier to upload photos and I can actually participate now Here is Miss Molly last weekend modeling her new outfit given to us by a family friend!

  QOTW - We've been in our house for 3 years now, we both like it - but I think I like it a smidge more. We knew when we moved here it wasn't our forever house. We have a good amount of space and could probably fit forever but I don't love the school system enough to send Molly and future kids all the way through it. We live in an area with really good schools so I think we'll move to a bordering town and probably a bigger house at some point, my guess would be 5 years out....

  As for projects, we are about to start converting a back room (former screened in porch) into a play room The windows and door need to be replaced and the guy is coming Monday night to go over prices and set a date. Once that's done - we'll get the carpet cleaned and get it painted and then it's going to be baby gear heaven and I can have my living room back

  We also need new garage doors, and really want new siding and new counters and a new kithen floor. THat stuff will get done in the future in that order.

  QOTW: I love my house. We realized when we found out we were having twins that we had outgrown our townhouse in the city, so we signed a contract on new construction in the country suburbs. I LOVE it. We were able to add little extras like a prep sink in the kitchen island, a gas line to our grill, a tiled shower. one lucky mama right here.

  Here is E enjoying her new house.
  
  I love the house we just bought. It's 4 bedroom so enough room for the kids (that still sounds odd to say, that little s makes a big difference!) and family to stay with us. But I don't think it's our forever home. We really want land and a donkey. Ok, I want to adopt a donkey, mh not so much. And I want goats. And chickens. And perhaps an alpaca. We have some work that needs to be done, but big projects will have to wait until we get patio furniture and a nursery.

  QOTW: We are still renters. We've been renters forever, cuz DH still hasn't gotten a permanent position, and we don't want to buy something until we know we are there to stay.  I am sick and tired of moving every 3 years.  Our current place is okay; it's a new(er) construction so it looks pretty good, but doesn't have much character and it's only a condo with a shared wall.  I can't wait for us to buy our own home.

  
  

  This pic is actually from 2 weekends ago; I finally got around to download it.

  Our house is definitely not our forever home.  DH is super picky and only wants to move to one specific street in this township (different town, same school district).  We keep on waiting for the perfect one to pop up before we sell our townhouse.  It's way to small and the layout sucks for kids.  NY is just so damn expensive!

  Here is S wearing her "Miracle" tshirt. She's a little sleepy looking as she'd just woken up to go to DC.
  
  QOTW: we love our house but are quickly outgrowing it. We have neighbors with rudely loud dogs and both of us grew up on farms or at least somewhat in the country, so we kinda crave that. We're looking a little right now but hope to weight a couple years then build. All of this dependent upon IVF #2.

  Can I still at even though I'm late!?
  
  QOTW:How coincidenr! Our house is actually on the market right now. We've had a couple showing, but no offers Been up for a month. Actually listed it the day LO came home from the NICU...maybe were crazy, maybe not lol. Anyway, I can't wait to move! We're in a small, 2BR ranch. We've been here for four years. Fine for us now if we don't end up selling, but when we have #2, we won't have any room at all!
  
  Here's DD from yesterday, hanging out with great grandma!
