Minivan Ho!!!

We have been looking for a minivan cause the cars we have right now are just too damn small for us. We thought we could make do, but it turns out the double strollers one needs with twins just don't fit in either of the cars that we own already.

What we wanted was a Honda Odyssey. We test drove the brand new ones (oooh does that make it hard to settle for a used one!!) and we have been searching for a used one, too. We have a neighbor who works for a car dealership and he took Andrew to the car auction for the last three weeks. Well, this week we found our "baby" and our bid was accepted and we apparently will soon be the proud owners of a Silver Honda Odyssey minivan with leather seats & stuff. No DVD player, but that's allright. When they're a little bit older, and they need to watch DVDs on car trips, we'll buy them their own personal DVD players. Obviously, the link here is to a new version, but the 2003 we bought is similar to this one.

Anyway. We're going to have our new van tomorrow sometime! Yay! I've basically been "trapped" in going only places where I could fit the car seats on a shopping cart, and now I can actually use the strollers I bought and go wherever I want to go!

My best friend was a little appalled that I was succumbing to minivan-ness. I told her I would do something to make it a little cooler, a little more in line with our teen, Scorpio, hot chick dreams long ago. I figure there's SOMETHING I can do. Some bumper sticker, or one of those hula dancers on the dash board, or something. What do you think? Is the minivan hopelessly "soccer mom" or can you add a dash of bohemian-ness to it? And how?
