Car Story

With a big family, in terms of number and size, going out as one unit has always been a problem. When my kids were just daughters # 1, 2 and 3, my old trusty Toyota and hubby's Mustang have been sufficient as means of transportation. When daughter #4 came, we fit rather tightly in my car so we decided to exchange my car for a station wagon. The station wagon was alright especially the foldable back seats. We can fold the seats in case we needed more space for luggage or for the kids to lie down. Came kid #5 or my one and only son. I told hubby that he may keep the station wagon but I needed a Toyota lite-ace. The girls were getting taller and bigger and I needed the extra space for my baby boy's car seat. Lite-ace it was. For a while the lite-ace was fine until the kids all shot up to high heavens in terms of height and girth. I thought I needed a bigger van. I told hubby about it and he said that I should just buy a bus and ply a route during my off time. I did! Well not really, but my new van can sit 12 people easy and I'm not up to "plying" a route.... yet.
