the Kitchen and the hall and family room carpet, we already loaded the table, chairs, fridge and stove in there so not the best view of the carpet. This all started when we had our carpets cleaned by Zero rez and asked them to stretch the hall carpet, they did great at the cleaning but then when they cut off the excess of the hall carpet they slashed multiple cuts into the linoleum right in front of the hall, a major walkway, they admitted to it being their fault but then wouldn't help us get the repair done. So we did it with the help of our insurance and they are going after them in court for us. We had to pay for any upgrades though.
They told us if we tore out the old stuff they we would save $500 so we said sure, next time they can do it! See all the lines with big chunks, there were thousands of little staples!!!! We had to remove the subfloor in the kitchen so that the floor level would match up with the hallways, Horrible pain to get those staples out!!!
Trevin found a hiding place in between the fridge and stove while they were on the carpet!
The first of the new floor going in!
They were done for the day and we had to eat dinner this way, grilled cheese on the Foreman grill since I didn't have a stove! The second day they would do the hallways.
While the men worked up stairs I kept 3 little kids downstairs, we played with toys, set up a TV with the ROKU box so we could watch Netflix, I set up the play pen for my nephew to get a nap, since I knew he would sleep there, but Nathan would prefer his own bed. The first day went fine, but the second day he was a crying mess till he finally crashed on the floor, I went to grab the camera after Carli covered with a pink dress up dress, but someone woke him up just before I got there. Poor little dude was tired and wanted his bed! 
The floor was finished on Monday and Tuesday, then we all got sick the rest of the week starting with Nathan and Carli on Wednesday, my nephew had it Tuesday, let me tell you that having Nathan get sick in the hall while I tried to rush to the bathroom was so nice to have the new floor and not carpet to cleanup, Just sayin!
And finally the finished product! The carpet is much darker, Trevin told me it was "Grandma Carpet" then told me it matched my hair, Brown with blonde highlights LOL!
No more line where the linoleum and the front hallway wood met up! It flows so nicely now!

Bethany and Jarin - you have my sympathy on removing the old laminate flooring, linoleum and staples....been there, done that, hated it! Dad
I didn't know you did the removal for yours too, did you take out the tiles in the front hallway also? Not a fun job I ever wish to have again! That subloor was awful!
