I Used To Be Cool

...or maybe I never was. So I now drive a car that I always swore that I would never, ever, ever own in my whole life. Funny how having kids changes your perspective on things. We went back and forth between a small SUV/wagons (Explorer, Pilot, Volvos) and the 'minivan' but it just seemed to make sense.

I have to give a lot of thanks to experienced friends who either own a minivan and to those who don't but regret not having one. Because they are really the ones who talked me into it.

I will keep one promise to you all ... that I WILL NOT have a bumper sticker that says 'my honor roll student...' and I will keep a promise to Tyler that I won't put a mini wastebasket with a plastic liner in between my two front seats! So far I think we made the right decision...Henry seems to be happy in it especially when he's out of his seat and can run and hide all over. And it certainly has made my life easier with the giant sliding door that doesn't swing back and hit me in the ass as I'm trying to load the car. And what's better than 14 cupholders and 2 glove boxes?! LOL!!! At least we picked out a model with the super tinted windows...this is so Matt can drive it and no one will know he's in there :)
