With the arrival of the twins nearing (i.e. I felt like I was dying) Shaun and I thought it would be a good idea to get the manual out for my car. We wanted to look up the "logistics" of putting three carseats in the back of my car. This is what we found in bold letters...."WARNING even though there are 3 latch hooks DO NOT install three car seats under any circumstances ever or we will blow up your car after we drive over it with a monster truck." Cue the hormonal waterfalls. Aughhh. I cried for a day....would stop....picture "it" in my head and start crying again. I hated that i've said things like"i'll never drive a minivan ever..whawha." Who EVEN cares. seriously. as long as my lil ones are safe i'll do it. I'll sacrifice any ounce of coolness that I didn't even have to begin with and drive a mini.

ReplyDeleteYou have a sweet ride, even with out the flames on the side. I think if you lower it, add hydraulics and some spinning rims and perhaps paint it half neon green and half purple, you could totally pull it off...
ReplyDeleteIs that the same "mini" dead in the driveway ready for escape? Cheer up sweetie,....just another adventure!
ReplyDeleteThat's okay...we had to resort to a minivan when number 3 came along, too. Someone thought it would be a problem if we could only ever transport two of them at a time.
