new car
alisa got a new car. it's a subaru pzev legacy sedan. it's a very nice powder blue outside and two tone dark/light inside. it's taking us a while to get used to the differences from her old car. for example, the mirror doesn't flip between day and night. instead it dims. which takes away the trick where you can simultaneously see both the kids and the cars behind you. ah well. we all went to the dealer to do the paperwork. the boys wanted to find our old car. so we wandered all around the lot. when we returned we said it would be okay for the kids to check out the inside of the new car. we didn't think about the oil grease the kids had just been tramping through. oops. it wouldn't be so bad except the car didn't have the super special extra sealant sauce yet. so the first thing we did was clean the brand new car so the marks won't be permanently sealed in. and we made a temporary rule about no shoes on feet in the new car.
