Said I Never Would...

drive a MINIVAN! I was bound and determined that I would always just have a big SUV and cart my kids in and out. Well, that was before I had three kids in carseats and trying to get them in and out of anything is challenging. So we did it! We bought a minivan yesterday and I have to tell you...I LOVE IT! All the room and getting the kids in and out is already a thousand times easier! Not to mention that the dogs can finally go in the car once again. Poor things have not been able to go for a car ride due to carseats and kids for quite sometime! We found a great deal on a "new to us" minivan near Daytona Beach...4 hours away. So we piled into our little SUV and made the trip. The kids were excellent the whole way. As a reward for being so good we made a quick stop at Sea World, making use of our season passes, and caught a nighttime Shamu show and fireworks. The kids were exhausted and so were we. We pulled into the driveway with our new mobile about 1:30 AM and collapsed in our beds! So it official...I will be a soccer mom. ;)
