Here It Is... and, Uh-Oh

This is my new car!!!! Isn't she preeeety?!



Note the large Doggie Loading Zone:

Plus, the back seats fold down, so the entire back of the car can be packed full o' crap, should the need arise. Mostly, though, it will be packed full of Dog. Plus, the back window opens, so they can drool out the back of the car rather than down the inside of the windows.
This was their first inaugural doggie ride. Keeping the rear seats in their upright position forces them to pretty much sit while I'm driving, which is actually a lot better than the way they used to bounce around in the back of the minivan.


Now for the uh-oh: Patrick saw my last post title this morning in the emails with your comments, and he REALLY wants to know what a MILF is. I have a feeling that since I wouldn't give a committed answer, it's not at all unlikely he's going to ask his teacher. THAT'll be a fine how-do-ya-do when I pick the kids up this afternoon! Oh, dear. Also, he discovered the word f*ck the other day, completely by accident. He was doing rhyming words for homework, and calling out words that would rhyme with truck, whether they were real words or not, and he must have liked how it sounded, because he kept SAYING it - 'f*ck, truck! f*ck, truck!' I told DH to let it go and not make a big deal, since he didn't know what he was saying, but NOOOO, DH had to yell at him to stop, that that was a very bad word. Great. Now he has a word to use that he KNOWS is bad. So, if your kid comes home saying some kid named Patrick said to tell you that F*CK is a bad word, can he/she use it, you'll know who to thank. You're welcome!

That car is pretty!! I love the color!

Patrick asking what a MILF is is too funny! Doesn't suck when they learn to read!?

Sigh. This is how my car could look - if it wasn't covered in kid residue and didn't have a scrape on it from a fight with the parking garage.

It's decieving - doesn't look like it has that much space! Very cute.

Oh I totally covet your car! I keep threatening to trade in my civic for a minivan just to have some open cargo/dog space in the back. But now I think a hatchback/wagon-y deal might actually work!

Oh! We had that same car and LOVED it. We, um, totaled it, but it was soooo not the car's fault. (Inch of ice on the road + steep hill, and even then police car that came to the scene lost control.) Ours was the exact same color. I'm feeling oddly nostalgic for that car now. Have fun with yours! (Maybe don't drive it to Wisconsin in the winter.)

Wow! That car is beautiful! I love the photo with your puppies hanging out the back.
