Alli had a great first day of preschool and her class mascot is the monkey. She enjoyed staying for "lunch bunch" and playing with her cousin Will who is in kindergarten at the same school. Last night she when Michael was taking her to bed she thanked him for letting her be a "monkey" so I think that's a good sign. Granted, she has been exhausted all day today and has been a bear so hopefully she'll get used to the new busy school schedule and will adjust. We really need to get the girls to bed earlier but that's not easy either as most of you already know.
Oh yeah, out with the old and in with the new! While Alli and Meredith were in school yesterday we headed over to Tulsa to get our Hail damage repaired new minivan! Yes, it's another white Odyssey but it's fully loaded (minus the TV) and we got it for the same price as we got our other Odyssey for in 2003! We'll take the hail damage and all! I really wanted a small SUV this time so I could be a cool mom but when you compare the same options you can get in a minivan and gas mileage it pays to be cool and I'm not willing to pay it (yet). Just wait, my next vehicle in another 5 or so years is going to be so cool you all will be jealous and maybe I'll even get a red or black vehicle! Talk about wild and crazy! Anyway, old Betsy (other van) had over 100,000 miles so we invested in a new one and Michael's mom Patty is going to drive our old one when she and Tommy aren't going somewhere together. The girls named our new van "Mini". I guess they get their creativity from their parents, poor girls. They first suggested "mini-van" and "white mini-van" and we then shortened it from there.
