hot wheels!

it became officially mine today!  daryl found a great deal on this used '08 honda pilot, and we traded off my jeep compass.  i wasn't sad to see the jeep go.  it had terrible blind spots, and it didn't have a lot of cargo space. spencer was so excited about the car that he just wanted to go sit in it last night while it was parked in the garage.  i was leery, but daryl said it was ok as long as he didn't push any buttons!

i got in it this morning all excited to drive to work for the first time, and it wouldn't start!!!  i thought, "maybe there is a trick to starting it." but then i remembered i started it twice yesterday with no problems.  daryl said it was probably just so stinkin' cold and it hadn't been driven very far in a while.  we didn't have time to jump it because i had to be at a faculty meeting at 8:00 and spencer had to be at school by 8:12.  so daryl took all of us to school.  when i talked to him at lunch, he said the battery wasn't dead because of the cold.  it was dead because of spencer!!!!  so much for not pushing any buttons!  he'd turned on the dome light last night and left it on!!!  ugh!

so as payment for me not being able to drive my new car today, he's had doggie potty duty outside in the below freezing temps!
