There’s no turning back now. I’m the owner of a minivan. Oh good heavens! I never thought I’d see the day.

We shopped around a lot for this mom-mobile and I finally found one I liked. It’s a big ol’ house on wheels with tv’s, GPS, and all the other bells and whistles. Luckily it’s all tricked out so I don’t feel so sad trading in my fast, little sporty car for this bus.

Big ol’ thanks to YaYa for watching the girls so we could go test drive and buy this bad boy. We would have had to hire a sitter. How does one buy a car after having children without a YaYa in town? Do you take them on a test drive with you? Do you let them take goldfish and a sippy cup in the back seat and really test out the car? I hope I never have to find out the answers to those questions. Thanks YaYa!

Since I have such a kind husband he calls my new minivan the VW Bus. He told me it’s jus the new version of the VW bus therefore still cool. I don’t know if he’s just blowing smoke, trying to make me feel better, or just genuinely likes me but I’m gonna take it. But really? I’m a mom of two living in the burbs. Cool? That ship has sailed.  This bus is all me!

The girls love “the bus” and Annabelle informed me she “likes mommy’s new car stink”!
