Ever since Geoff and I got married he had been begging for a mini-van (up until yesterday I thought he had been joking). I told him there was no way we were going to be childless mini-van owners, but then we had a baby. I then went with, "You can't have a mini-van with only one kid!"
I then got pregnant again. Since I was clearly running out of reasons why we couldn't be miniature-van people, I could feel the time was coming near (I just didn't think it was this near). End of story, last night Geoff pulled up dancing in a mini-van driver seat happy as a clam.
Geoff is now living his version of the American Dream, and I'm happy if he's happy. I'm also happy if Ivy's happy, which is a lot more likely with a DVD player on long drives. All you mini-vanners out there have promised that 24 hours in that thing and it'll change my life, something about side doors or something? I'll keep you posted. Until then, I'll have to keep watching this video to convince me that vans can have swagger too. (I may not have to be convinced at all though, Geoff drove his pride-ride to work this morning...)

When we were looking at buying a new car I fell in love with a minivan too! It was top of the line and all for a great price, but we are childless and having a van wouldn't be soo cool. Can't wait to see pictures!
i loved these swagger wagon commercials. minivans scare me. i don't want to be one of "those" moms. but if you can handle and rock it, maybe it's not so bad...
Ha! My husband is the same way. He drives one for work and every day he's like, "Kate.. think of the possibilities of a minivan.. camping,moving stuff, d.v.d players,..etc" We don't have kids yet,and there is no way I'm giving in until then.
Rock it though sister!
i LOVE this video too funny! your little fam is the cutest!
hahaha that is the one jeremy has been wanting since i got preggers 3 years ago hahahah He thinks he can make it "look rad" i haven't given in!
This video will never not be funny.
And I say EMBRACE the minivan! They make them pretty sweet now. We can't afford one yet, so we're rocking three kids in a Buick Le Sabre. That's how we roll (literally).
i just can't do the minivan thing. my sister has one and she's all showy about it, like oh, i need something from the back seat & then she presses a little button and the door glides open like she's the queen of england or something. & then i have to go lift the handle on my car like a loser.
i actually just don't like their look, too many pretty suv's for the same price! you are very nice for getting a car you're not in to, way nicer than me.
xx
Your husband is HILARIOUS.
And you write so well I can completely see the way he drove up in that van. Hahahahahaha.
I am with Geoff on this one. I WANT A HONDA ODYSSEY SOOOO BAD!!! It certainly is a check in the pride department. You suddenly aren't really hot or pretty anymore...you're cute. I drove a friend of ours for a day and felt so MOM. But you know what? I am a Mom! And minivans are so stinkin practical! They are amazing!!!
Ok...one day I will have one. For now, I am thankful for our Murano. But one day....
I was laughing out loud at our texting convo yesterday! I remember seriously pacing (think dad) around my house trying to except the fact that I was going to soon be driving a minivan while keith was on his way home with it 5 years ago (yes it's been five years!) Oh how quickly I feel in love though. It's all about those doors, the DVD, the stow and go... don't even get me started!
You guys will rock the minivan! Tell Geoff I can't wait to see him crusing in da van!
Hey. My parents made me drive their old mini van when I was in high school. IN HIGH SCHOOL! At first, I was humiliated. But it actually became one of the most popular vehicles at the school. Lots of good drives and times were had in that van. 500,000 miles later, she's still running. I'm not even kidding. But when she kills over, I'm going to be sad. My husband probably won't be. But I'll probably weep.
HILARIOUS.
but really though... i never want to be the one driving the mini van er... swagger wagon. but it's super cute that your hubs has wanted a mini van and enjoys driving it!!
Congrats on the new mini van! I'm so happy that Geoff finally gets to live out his dream.
dude why is everyone hating on vans?! in high school i drove an astro van. which i affectionately named the "kickastro". i loved that baby! so sad when we got rid of it when i was in college. im gonna rock a van as soon as my husband will allow me to. children or not.
i hope it has 4 car seats so we can all caravan to the zoo together now.
Haha my mom has a minivan and will never stray from it. I'll be the same when i have kids!
LOVE this video!
OH my gosh, your humor has me rolling with laughter......miniature-van people. thats the funniest thing i have read in a while. congrats on the van and baby #2.
