I MISS my minivan... donwgraded to a Toyota Highlander and I HATE IT when kids crawl over that second row seat to get into the back. Am thinking of going back... glad to hear that more hot mamas are driving them out there, makes the decision easier! Can't wait to see a picture of all three carseats (with kids) strapped in!!

We got it when I we were about to have our third kid and we were running out of doors on the other car. So it was fun, hauling everything and everyone around, then one night, Himself and I took the back seats out of the van, and found a nice quiet (kid-free) place to, um, park the van, and, um, well, um... yeah. You cannot do that in the back of a Honda without getting some kind of charley horse! I remember our minivan.

Seriously. Also, Wendy sounds like quite the amazing person. Your kids will always know that you really love them, because look at the amazing sacrifices that you make for them. Seriously.

It's not as bad as it seems (most of the time). I just got one for mother's day last year and I have to say it is convenient. Not cool, but convenient. And I'm not sure why, but it gets way dirtier than my other car. I think it's because I don't care about it. But, when you have three kids in car seats, what are ya gonna do right?

Up to that point, we had three kids crammed in a too-small-for-three-kids back seat, bickering non-stop. And yet we persevered that way because of the minivan stigma. But finally, we were going to have more kids than seating. So minivan shopping and buying we went. And WE LOVE IT!!! It is automobile heaven! The kids can't reach one another to hit, they aren't crammed in so tight that they are always touching one another and then hitting because the other one is touching. It's great. I feel stupid for not doing it sooner. We took the plunge a little over a year ago, just before I had our fourth child.

But I can honestly say that having a vehicle that my 3 kids can sit in without touching each other has made my driving life much more bearable and certainly has decreased the kid's chances of being left on the side of the road by a woman who has been pushed to her limit LOL And the best part is that date night in a minivan can be a LOT of fun. The Island King and I might not look as cool in the van as we did in my convertible but we have lots more room for having adult fun LOL And it could be worse - you could be driving one of those grandma/cop car Crown Victorias LOL I can feel your pain, I fought the battle for many years before finally giving in and making the dreaded purchase.

Because I love and support my best friends, I will agree...the mini, ugh..I'm trying to say it.....van (gulp) is probably a good purchase for you. If any of us can pull off the minivan look, then it's definitely the Battle Station family. It's a weird feeling right now. Mostly because I seriously feel like just 2 days ago we were riding around in Steff's MOM'S minivan in high school.....not owning our own!! Here I am not even in the beginning stages of having children and there YOU go buying a minivan.....it's freaking me out a bit. You will ROCK that van which is very unlikely a MINI, and I'll love you all the same. My little Delaney's future minivan happiness also makes me smile and appreciate your ability to be ahead of the curve. :) Okay….so first I JUST have to say this ONE time and one time only….OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!
