We now have a GMC Yukon. It seats 9. The first comment from the little people was \u201cNow we can have two more!\u201d The car salesman\u2019s jaw dropped. Yes, I went car shopping with all 5 children. I had to make sure that all the car seats fit and that the little people could get in and out easily, and that I could fold the seats down while holding a baby in one arm. I also brought the police report to get some sympathy. It worked, the dealership owner took off an additional $1500 from their \u201clowest price\u201d. God bless the salesman who treated us well and was kind and understanding to me in my mentally frazzled state.<\/p>\n

Honk and wave next time you see me on the road, I\u2019ll be the one with the great stereo blasting Trout Fishing in America<\/a> as I sing along at the top of my lungs.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
