My friend Kathy and I were going to the Millerville Christmas Market and I needed to get everything put together so we could leave when she got to my house. She pulls up and I am freezing cold in the middle of the driveway surrounded by parts that somehow make a full functioning car seat.
The two of us just about lost our fingers due to cold, but about 45 mins later we finally figured it out ... aka: Kathy is smarter than me, and I did what she told me to do when she eventually deciphered the instructions that I swear were written in Greek! What makes this really fun is that her son Tommy got a hold of the camera and probably snapped a hundred pictures of us trying to figure it out, and 2 pictures of the birds flying by (ok it took a while, we get it:-).
So the next time someone asks you "How many women does it take to put together a baby car seat?" You can answer them by saying ... "Two grown women with college degrees, that only thought it was funny after the fact!" :-)
We had TONS of fun at the Market together. Thank you Kathy ... I love you!!!!!

Finally!!!! The finished result!
Trying to stay warm by the fire at the market ... I swear my hat is more pink in real life, it matches the scarf a whole lot better than the picture makes it looks
Posing with Granny Lanny outside Route 40 Soups stand. Justin helped Mark build the shed, and I helped Lanny decorate! It was so fun, and I am totally in the Christmas spirit now. If I'm not careful, I might put up my decorations now!

LOL! Funny girl!
That soup stand looks awesome! I love rustic Christmas anything. I too am itchin' to get out my Christmas trees and decorate!!
Sounds like a fun day! I had trouble with car seat instructions as well. Maybe it's genetic. The farmers market stand looks great.
I can't wait to decorate! We move in to our new home right before Thanksgiving, and that's going to be one of the first boxes I'll unpack.
Too bad you live so far away...I've put together a million car seats and have successfully figured out how to buckle each one. Even the crazy ones that are stranger than puzzles and seriously not sold in the US....oh wait you're not in the US, you probably got one where you connect point A to harness F, tighten H to meet safety standards B, clip C and D together and buckle parts E and G to the anchor parts on the car and for added measure you might as well connect the tether (part I) to the back of the seat as well (well when its a forward facing seat). Then if there are spare parts left over you connect J-Z together and badda bing badda boom you have the safest car seat in town and it only took you two hours to figure it out. :)
Mandy you are histerical!!! We really could have used your help :-)
