I am such a basket case right now. We are so done with the Jetta. I keep meaning to post a picture to prove that all three car seats actually fit in the car! It's a miracle! But each day that goes on I freak a little more. It is so tight. I can't pack anything along (our trunk no longer opens!) except a diaper bag. The kids are constantly "helping" out by poking Aubrey's eyes, mouth, putting their fingers in her mouth to calm her down, patting her head, pulling the sun visor up and down so they can be sure to see her cute face, putting the blanket over her face so she stays warm...I could go on and on. Some days I'm more patient than others, and other days I freak out and want a new car now! Why are cars so dang expensive! I would love nothing more than a totally loaded Acadia. They are the most beautiful cars!!! We went and test drove one yesterday. I am in love. I totally want it to work. The sales guy asked if we wanted to take the minivan for a spin that they had. I refused. Only because I think it realistically will be better (as far as room, storage, convenience). If I'm making a car payment, I want to love the car, not hate it! I want a 4 wheel drive car, one that can get us to the mountains, and one that can get me to my appraisals when weather is crazy. Will a van do that successfully? Why am I so anti? I have a feeling in the next few weeks we'll be the proud owners of a Honda Odyssey. Who knew I'd ever say that! Don't be surprised though if it's a piece of junk. Like I said, if I make a payment on a car, it's going to be a car I love. Otherwise, I'm paying cash for a piece that will get us to our destinations safely.
Could this be the one? They're only asking $4,900!

Don't feel bad, I am very anti-mini van as well. I can't wait to get a 4 wheel drive or All wheel drive vehicle myself - that is why I won't do a mini van...I need to get to the cabin! And I drive a lot in the snow.
Amen!!! I hear ya! What's a girl to do??? Get a way fun SUV or a lame mini??
Mini vans are great, but most SUV's come with a 3rd row seat. Amber is old enough to climb back and buckle her booster seat? Or soon. Gosh, good luck with the decision. But if you want to make it up your drive way ;) and are in the mountains a lot...
Good luck! I can't wait to see what you get.
Trish, Aubrey's pics are so dang INSANE! She is the cutest little lady! Love the one of you with her!
Ohhhhh, I never thought I'd be the owner of a minivan, but I do have to admit...it's been really great. There's no snow in Texas, though! That is a hard decision. I wish money weren't an issue.
Oh, by the way. Aubrey's pictures are adorable! Way to go Emily!
SUV baby - always SUV!!! Go with the Acadia, you'll love it. It isn't hard for car seats, i have an expedition and wouldn't trade it for anything. Good luck with your decision.
