Horse and Buggy

Lots of fun stuff happening in my neck of the woods. My big boy turned 5!!! He enjoyed every minute of it. I had planned to make him a cake. But, since it was his super cool 5th I decided to by him some really rockin' cakes. He wanted of course a Hippo and Rhino party. So easy to find decorations to follow that theme. I integrated Batman a bit too. All  in all, he had a great time. I can believe he is so big. Sniff, Sniff. He will be going to kindergarten next year. That will be rough on mom fo sho.

My hubby and I sold our Honda Odyssey van. One of my clients offered us a cant refuse price for it. So we sold it. Like I told the hubby, if someone offers you great money for some item that you have, you sell. We can always buy another van right? I strongly dislike buying cars. I knew this b4 I sold the van. You would think that the car lots are just swimming with clients and don't need to sell anything. I am having a heck of a time even getting sales dud's to give me a simple call back. It's so hard to drag the kidlets out to look at cars. Not to mention how boring it is for them. So, we have tried to do most of it by phone. Not working all too well.

At first we were going to buy another Odyssey, but frankly it wasn't much different than my previous van. So , we are looking at the overpriced death trap Toyota Sienna. All of our kids need car seats, I feel like our choices are limited. Good news is, 99 years from now, not gonna matter what van/car we ended up buying.

If you have any tips on buying a car. Let me know. I feel like we are just pulling teeth to get help. You think it would be easier with no trade in and no financing. I guess they cant hide as much when you just pay out right for a car.

God Bless you today!
