Today the weather was all nice so I thought it would be a good idea to get some outside activities done. We cleaned out the element (I had spilled cereal all over so this was good practice) and then decided to try to get the car seat installed and to put the stroller together. Well, I decided. So while Paul was moving the board games out of our closet and into our garage, I was very slowly shoving the giant box of stroller across the parking lot. I was mostly just amusing myself when the neighbor lady pulled in to the parking lot and told me I shouldn't be lifting anything. I told her I wasn't lifting, just shoving, but she insisted on helping me. The hilarity of this is that she's probably in her seventies and refused to let me help at all. I wish I had a picture!
Paul carried the box up on to the sidewalk and we pulled everything out. He started to put the car seat base in while I separated all of the other pieces when I found that one of the wheels had punctured a hole all the way through the seat of the stroller. So then we packed it all back into the box as best we could and drove to a couple of babies'r'us stores to exchange it (the first didn't have the same color).
Then we got home and started all over again. No hole this time thankfully! I was so amused at our preparing to be parents activity that I felt the need to take pictures. It didn't really occur to me to take a picture of the finished stroller, but you get the idea.

It looks similar, and we put that one on our registry!!
That's the one! We were really torn between green and purple too :) I liked it because of the handle on the car seat and I liked that it's pretty simple and doesn't have any gender specific fabric patterns on it.
