MINI

From MINI
(Cooper S)

To MEDIUM
(Honda CRV)

And back again to MINI...

...VAN
(Honda Odyssey)

It's groovy. Naomi calls it her "fancy car." It has a DVD player, backup camera and side doors that automatically open and close. What could possibly be cooler than that?!

(btw, did anyone see ToyStory3 this week? Loved it.)

I am, however having an insy-winsy bit of an identity crisis. I once vowed I'd never own a minivan. If we couldn't fit in a compact car, then we would fit in a compact SUV. I was not going to be a minivan-mom! But lets face it, space is nice. Really nice... especially if you've got more than one extra body wanting to ride to the beach... or to Canada!

So here I am, driving the streets in my fancy new/used mini...van and spending $200 at Walmart on formula, diapers, baby food, kleenexes (a lot of 'em... We've got a lot of nose blowin' goin' on around here), sippy cups, hair clippies (because we loose them like crazy), infant Tylenol and goldfish crackers! *Whoa* It was a very surreal moment, like asking in astonishment, "Peter Pan's got kids???" (In Hook) and wondering how I've gone the last three years without realizing I'M A MOM?!
