Athought I wouldn't really call us hasty (we've been looking to buy a car since Ava was born) we went to look at a car Tuesday night and ended up driving it home 2 hours later! We have been scoping out prices on Toyota Sequoia's and Volvo XC90's for a long time and I happened across one Sequoia that was a steal. I am already loving the extra room in the back and being able to tote more friends to sports and playdates. I am also very happy to have one less thing on my "to do" list before our newest arrival makes his debute.
The new car experience was one of mixed reviews for our kids though. Jackson was so excited that he literally jumped up and down for joy at the lot. Ava cried the whole way home asking for her "little blue car" and Kate was somewhere in between. We were a little surprised that the girls felt so attached to our Escape but as we explained to Jackson, it is the only car they have ever known. We went back to the dealership yesterday to try and take a picture of them in the car but sadly, it was already off the lot.
Farewell to our trusty little car and hello to more space to welcome baby boy into the world!

Cute car! You will LOVE the extra room for toting stuff and kids. Now you are truly a "soccer mom"
GOOD LOOKING VEHICLE...Thanks for the shot.
I LOVE Toyotas! What more can I say.
Those are some sweet wheels!! We looked at a Sequoia, too, when Steve was replacing his car but since we didn't need a big car to tote the whole family decided on the Acura MDX - still enough seats for everyone if we need them but a little smaller for his everyday use. *LOVE* the Sequoia ... they are gorgeous!!
So funny - our kids cry whenever we have to get a new car -- at the dealership, too, and all the way home!!! They really do get attached to the memories they made while riding in the car and we always have to take a picture before we leave it for the last time. They are all so sentimental! We're glad you've got some roomy, reliable wheels for baby #4. That's the baby that put us into the world of minivans....we just couldn't fit any more kids in our 1982 Le Sabre! And I tell ya, it was a GREAT day for Mom! Enjoy!
Nice wheels! I remember you talking about shopping for a new car when I saw you in April. Glad you can cross that off the 'to do' list and get down to some serious nesting in your last 6 weeks. Wow. Time flies when you're not the one pregnant! :)
