Out with the Old, In with the New

Well, we finally did it. We bought a new car! I have swallowed my pride, but have gained convenience. I don't have to slide car seats to get kids buckles, I don't have 3 boys yelling in my ear as I am driving, and I don't have to pray that cops aren't out to take friends home. Welcome to my life of space and ease. The doors open & close by the touch of a button, the boys can buckle themselves (because they can see the buckle now), and they don't tease each other because they aren't sitting on top of each other. Thanks honey for a great new car, I love it!
PS- enjoy your black car again:)!

My new van!
The front seat
(I only got one picture before my camera battery died)

Kelton and John both had field trips to Cornbelly's. They loved it. I got to go with John so here are some pictures. The kids also got to go the Hee Haws, which is basically the same thing except more young kid friendly. We had a blast. Keith just wanted to chase around the chickens, Kelton loved the Corn Cannon, and John enjoyed playing in the Corn box. (I couldn't get the pic off my phone from Hee Haw--Sorry)

Keith & John on the hay ride going to get their pumkins
Keith taking a rest from the slide area--I couldn't get John to come over for a picture
John being a roper like grandpa--He said,
"The other horse is for Will, he's the header and I'm the Heeler."
He sure does love his grandpa!

Before we left for Cornbelly's Johns preschool class sang some Halloween songs. It we so cute!

Oh i'm so happy for you! Yeah! Welcome to the club. It is a humbling experience at first, but with 3 kids, there is nothing better. I bet you already love it?

Leslie, minivans are great! You're a real mom now, right? Real moms know that practical beats stylish any day. :) Congratulations on the upgrade - I know it will make a big difference in your life.

Congrats with the new van. Thats great. I know what you mean about small spaces, but I only have one child in a small car. I can't even imagine any more kids in it. Cute pics of the kids.

OK...I spent today (Oct 31), with your buddy Keith...I, too, am the proud owner of a brand new car!!! With my trade in, and rebates, it was actually cheaper than my 8 year old car! Keith was, and still is my man!!!
Happy Birthday, and Happy Halloween to me!!!
