I have an artsy, creative friend named Robyn (in fact the one that took the pics of the boys permanently on the site) who says that every mom gets a pair of Bernie Macs and a stroller when they move to La Grange! Well we're adding to that .... a van. Yep, we got ourselves a van yesterday as Chris prepares to turn in his Lexus sedan. The MDX we bought in September will be Chris's and I have a new Honda Odessey to cart around the village in.
To all you "hanger ons" who who are still making due with the SUV with kids under the age of 5 ... we were once in your ranks. It just became too difficult trying to squeeze behind doors in a 2 car garage, trying to manage two boys who barely listen in parking lots like Target, trying to lift the 4 year old up and into his booster cause he owns the shortest legs known to man, and most importa
nt, trying to regulate the arm swings for two boys in cabin seats. I even got the phone call from our neighbor across the street congratulating us on joining the army of van moms that puruse the neighborhood. By the way, in the pic to the left, Charlie is actually saying cheese and giving us his happy face today. Let's just say it's been a long day.
The good news is that weekly payments will be decreasing along with insurance once the Lexus is turned in. The bad news ... the new mode of comfort for you being picked up by us at the airport has been diminshed somewhat. We did get navigation ... in case I get lost on the 2 block jaunt to the grocers and a DVD player ... in case I need a moment's worth of respite. I now can plug in Rescue Heroes and listen to sirens, copters and alarms vs. two boys screaming in the back. I'll take the Heroes!

Okay, I have to ask what Bernie Macs are. In my neighborhood you get a velour jogging suit.
