Guilty Confessions

Back in the pre-kid part of marriage we made a bet / promise with our great friends the Armstrong's about never buying a mini-van. I had to call Q and confess that we rented a brand new Toyota Sienna while we've been out here and I think I'm in love! For all you mini-van-ers out there that I may have mocked, I do apologize. This is the best designed vehicle for a mom with kids I've ever seen. The only way I can see to improve it would be to have a built in co-pilot to pick up dropped toys or food and put the body of a station wagon on the outside. I do love the wagons! :)
This thing has soooo much room, tons of cool buttons or storage places, and a 2.33 to 1 cupholder to passenger ratio! Unheard of! I feel a level of guilt for my secret love of the mini-van. Maybe with enough pressure our good friends will release us from our bet or does leasing count the same as buying in bet rules?! :)

Duh! I could have told you this but I'm glad you got to experience the van in all its glory! Looking forward to seeing you back in AZ. Hey, don't I get to be on your blog list?! You're on mine...:)

Yes, $5K whether you buy outright or lease... It's in the fine print.

Here's the deal though... we'll invest that $5K in a vacation or cruise or something to include you and Cade.

But Cade will still have to take a dip in the settling ponds at EA Miller. We'll put the video on YouTube along with some ad and that may even pay you the $5K back over time.

I love your updates! :) The pictures are great & your kids are as cute as ever! We really miss you guys! I am wondering why "poop-deck" isn't in the dictionary? They are so funny! Love you guys!

We too have a mini-van. We did feel a little weird about buying it with only one child, but it has been the best investment ever! We were actually able to go up to MT for Christmas and were asked to haul presents back and forth because we had so much room! Previous years we had to do smaller gifts. Anyways, it is a great vehicle and I too have changed my mind about the mini-van! :)
