MiniVan? REALLY?

Do I really need a minivan?
Am I REALLY going to have to buy a mini-van?
Seriously?
Me?
Minivan?

Ok. I get it, our current family vehicle isn’t large enough to carry two babies and a toddler and the luggage that goes along with it.

What are my alternatives?

  • All weather luggage rack?
  • One kid in the front seat and one adult sits in between the two other kids in the backseat?
  • A Box Truck Rental UHaul with wall-straps?
  • Two cars everywhere we go?
  • Someone always stays home with at least one kid?

Screw those ideas.

I accept the fact that I’m past the cool looking car. We are now at the crossroads of practicality and mobile storage/functionality.

I need room for 5 kids and two adults (or any combination of the 7), if I want to take any of my neices or nephews or other adults to watch my kids anywhere with us.
I need room to stand up and go change a diaper while on the freeway.
I need room to sleep if we end up “camping” somewhere with three kids.
I need room for the frickin DUAL STROLLER WITH OPTIONAL SIDECAR & 1700 diapers I will now stash with me everywhere I go.
I need 7 flip down DVD players, massage chairs, wifi, bluetooth, retina scan ignition and a retro cassette deck!

Bah. I don’t know what I need, but I need it bigger than I have right now damnit.

TO BE CONTINUED…

I DO know that my first bumper sticker will say “GOT TWINS?”
