Tell Me Why I Don't Like Moneydays

We're now the not-so-proud owners of a mini-van (taking delivery at the end of October). With 3 kids under the age of 2 1/2, we really didn't have much choice. We chose the Toyota Sienna, in either red or black depending on which is available. At one point Kate said, "the black one looks pretty cool". We exchanged despondent glances and she said, "We'll never be cool, ever again. It's a mini-van". Only Jacob seems truly excited.

In other news, they seem to be learning the days of the week at school. But Jacob refers to the first day of the week as "Moneyday".

My father's visit ended this morning. In return for his yeoman's work with the twins, we gave him a lovely parting gift - the kids' cold. No good turn goes unpunished around here.

And still no word from China. Yes, it's killing us.

Well, with 7 seats, you can take our kids too. That will make 4 under 3 + 1 or 5 under 6. Still pretty impressive numbers (Kate +/- Jon, eat your hearts out).

We're actually getting the one with EIGHT seats!! No half measures for us. With 2 parents, 3 kids, and 2 grandparents, that doesn't leave much space for your kids. Get your own minivan Jo!!!
