Mini-van mom!

Oh yes, people, I did. I bought a mini-van! Or is it minivan? I should probably know this now that I am, OFFICIALLY, a mini-van mom. And:

You know that's right.

We bought it used and old because we're super cheap like that. Hopefully I won't find myself stranded on the side of the road in two days, regretting that decision as smoke pours out from under the hood and flames begin to engulf the engine. Guess we'll see!

It's a 2002 Honda Odyssey, silver color, and so far I really like it (just bought it last night...so I don't have much to go off of yet). I know some people are anti-van, but I think they are AWESOME. Obviously I like them because I bought one with only one kid. Nerdy? Probably. Do I care? No--I drive a minivan, clearly I don't have much pride to begin with. :)

My favorite function so far is the push-button-automatic-sliding-door. SO CONVENIENT. And it's nice not having to bend over and contort myself into a crazy position just to get Emery into her seat. I'm excited just thinking about getting groceries and piling them in the car with room to spare. Bring it on, Costco, you can't over-fill my little car now!

  1. We bought ours when we just had Payton...good to plan ahead and when you find a great deal you don't pass it up, especially when you know you will need it in the future :) I love my van too, and so does Dallas :)

  2. So true Tiffany.
    Welcome to the AWESOME club.
    Love my Sienna.
    Someone asked me a couple of months back what my dream car was and I said 'I'm driving it'
    And they're like 'What a minivan?'
    and I'm like 'What other car could I possibly be driving with 4 kids on a daily basis? A Porsche? THIS SIENNA is my dream car people, for right now in my life, I wouldn't have it any other way.

  3. I still despise driving a minivan. EXCEPT when I go to Costco and on mutual/scouts night and for birthday parties and family trips. Blah - necessary evil.
