Over the weekend while we were at our friend's wedding we noticed a crack in our windshield. When we went to have it fixed on Monday, we were told that it was unrepairable. The inevitable had happened. We had to get rid of Amy's 13 year old Grand Prix. Well, Amy freaked out. We just weren't looking forward to making 2 car payments. We really wanted to get the Explorer paid off first. When Amy was having her small melt down she began to cry. Kenna wanted to know why mommy was crying. The conversation went some thing like this.
K: Mommy, why you crying?
M: The red car is too broken to fix and mommy is upset about the money it will take to replace it.
K: Mommy, you can have the money in my piggy bank. Then you wont cry anymore.
M: That's ok, Baby, you keep your money.
K: Mommy, it will be ok. We go get a new car and you be happy.
So, on Tuesday we traded in our 1995 Grand Prix for a 2005 Grand Prix. It was kind of a sad day. That car was good to Amy for many years. Luke took it pretty hard. He really loved the red car and asked a few times if we can take the black one back. It is all a little stressful, but we'll get through it. We always do.
