MY LITTLE HELPER
So last week I was in on the computer (like that's a surprise) and I could hear Frankie banging stuff around in the kitchen after a minute I started to wonder so when I peeked around the corner I found him helping me put the dishes away. So you see he is not ALWAYS naughty just most the time. He is such a sweet boy and loves to help. Thankfully the dishes were clean this time. And the bare butt because it is so much easier for him to remember to go on the potty without anything on so when it's just him and I hanging out at the house he streaks. What can I say it helps!
MY NEW PIMPED RIDE!
Some of you know and I am sure were dying to see it and the others of you are now jealous I am so sure.
I was granted with this lovely minivan to drive, a couple of weeks ago it just took me that long to post it. The horrible things is that it is a 97', not that it really matters but it kinda smells like it too. I have used a lot of lysol wipes, room sprays and a plug in oil burner so I think I almost have the stinky department taken care of. The next thing is that it makes a few weird noises, not explainable you will just have to get a ride to find out. Another problem is it only has one power outlet. Well you see I need three atleast! I am ghetto and don't have a built in movie player, a must with children, so I need one for that. My cell phone is a whole other post, let's just say it's not so wireless anymore, so I need one for that at almost all times. The radio only has a tape deck, haha it is that old. So I need a outlet for my ipod transmitter and last, which I think is four actually, my plug in oil burner so my car doesn't stink needs the same dang outlet. SO I am constantly changing my plugs around to suit my needs at that very moment. I do have an ideal though. I really am going to drive this van till it dies, which hopefully is later rather than sooner because of the postive things I have yet to discuss, so I might put just a little bit of money into it like an ipod ready stereo and a flip down dvd player. Then my friends I only need two outlets and they sell those in stores. That really is the only problems I have with the van.
No on to the bonuses and there are a few. To start I was driving my husbands "big red" truck and it was 1: hard to park 2: pretty much a workout everytime I went somewhere cause I had climb up into it to get Frankie in and then groceries, that was fun. 3: It was really expensive in gas especially when you drive as much as I do. So that brings us to the first plus on the new ride, GAS it is so much less and I go so much further and definate plus. The next good thing is the space, I love all the space I think a minivan with two kids is great that would suck if I had to have one then all the kids would take up all that useful space. I would have to move on to that bus like van. 4: the seperate seats. My kids don't know how to not bug eachother so sticking them both on their own seats is instant gratification and pleasure. 5: It is just far to convenient, the minivan really is a wonderful invention, two sliding doors, built in car seats ( they are from 97 I hope their still safe) and the room to take all my friends and there kids. SO no need to be jelous anymore if any of you are wanting a ride in the van it is my pleasure and I figure if I keep a good and humerous attitude it will pay off and I might get something I want in the end.

Hey, '97 or "07, I think Minis are the BEST!
You know you could have just had mine! Yes, a minivan with 4 kids leaves for NO room actually. Backpacks get shoved in the aisle and then kids are fighting because they can't get to their seats. (Hmmmm...I guess that was a little vent sentence).
Frankie has the littlest butt ever and the longest legs to go along with it.
See you tonight!
Thanks Marla, I loved reading about Frankie's little butt, and I'm glad to know your likeing your mini alittle better!!
I love love love it and I am oh so jealous!!! Russ was trying to put a third carseat in our accord the other day so Reeslyn's cousin could go somewhere with us and I thought he would go out that day any buy me a new car because he was so frustrated. 3 is going to be no fun in the accord!
Your lucky your little boy is so willing to help you! Your new ride looks great!!!
Did that site I gave you not work? Or did you just not like the options that were there? I still can't remember the dang site that I got mine from, but it erased ALL of my links. Thank heavens I had written them down just in case that happened! The site I gave you said that it might erase my links but when I tried it out.... they were still there!
Sorry I forgot I wasn't signed in. That was from Alli by the way!
I know deep down your lovin' your new van. Seriously they're the best with kids. I love it!
Marla,
I am jealous. I love the new ride.
Alli, It didn't work it said the same thing as always, something I completely don't understand. I even emailed the lady and she told me how to fix it but it still didn't work. I am retarted oh well. Thanks though
Okay the mini van is soooo nothing like the "ghetto" ride you described to me long ago! It is cute. The thing of it is, it LOOKS like an 07'. Well, maybe like an 04 but i love it!!! Gabby totally gets a lift SOON!
I had fun taking both babies today. Good thing i am a handy friend and I always take 2 car seats for my one child!
I'm just waiting for the gals to show up! Wish you were coming!!!
BTW I did post some new stuff...i posed a picture of my family, and some links of websites that i like to visit...i'm still trying to figure it out!! :D
I just love the top picture!!! That is awesome!
Oh Marla your van is not as bad as you described it to me over the phone. It looks really clean and well taken care of. Any car that's paid off is great!! I love it!
MINIVAN MOM....I am jealous I have to say. Think of how freaking convenient it will be. I swear every time I try to climb up my big car to put the kids in...I just about slip and fall every time! You are too funny.
Loved Frankie's bum bum!
