Looks like they're done with the mural by my bus stop.

Watching too much Price is Right
Every time I think about car shopping, I can't help but remember watching Bob Barker getting mauled by contestants after announcing, "A new car!" Thank goodness we're done with the car shopping for a while.
For those of you who need a little catch up, the Blazer got rearended (again) last fall, and then we got told that the engine wiring needed replacement. Instead of fixing those issues, we decided to save the money and put it towards a nice used minivan.
I did a bunch of research, and all of the signs pointed toward a Toyota Sienna, 2005 or later. After a few weekends of shopping around, we settled on a 2005 AWD Le from Walser Toyota in Bloomington, MN. Our salesman was very nice, and he's actually called us since to make sure that we're happy. The van is the 7 passenger size, and it had about 47,600 miles on it. It's got some really cool options, too, like having both a cd player and a tape player, which I think is awesome. Mom really liked the power passenger sliding door. Adam likes it for taking the dog to the dog park, too. Yay!

Sidewalk Work
We got a couple new sections of sidewalk in front of our house recently. It's our neighborhood's year for sidewalk work--they started at Chicago Ave and are working East. It was an annoying couple of week to walk back and forth to the bus stop, so I'm glad they're done. Now we just get to wait for them to send us a bill. Yay.
This is the house across the street from us.

The new mural by my bus stop
I was happy to see a new mural on the corner of 38th and Chicago. I'm a big fan of building murals in general, but I really like this one because it's all about mass transit, which I think is hilarious.
