And the winner is....

well, there are 2 winners

:)

but first, let me tell you my crazy story, the whole reason i started this crazy thing

we were in Pittsburgh PA for one of my good friends weddings 3 weeks or so ago. -yay Katie & Scott... beautiful wedding, fabulous, fun, only wish i had taken about 6 boxes of cookies - On our way back to the airport on Sunday all traffic was re-routed because of some tunnel construction project. great. well we left early, and still had a ways to go. the 45 minute drive was already an hour in and we weren't even close. then isabelle got hungry. now, let me paint the picture of what our car looked like:

Rental: Yukon XL




Passenger Layout :

Pop (Driver)  Grandma(Co-Pilot)
Faith(window)  Isabelle(middle)  Me(window)
Lots of luggage David(window)
Lots of luggage

Scene:

okay so again, traffic is not moving and we are tightly packed

again, isabelle is hungry
again, we have no idea how much longer it will take

so being the responsible parent, knowing I cannot for any reason unbuckle my children since after all, a lot of random crazy things can happen on a packed highway in PA, and their safety is number 1... i unbuckle my seat, lean in front of Isabelle, position everything and she eats.

yay for a happy baby.

however, Faith had a front row seat to the action, because no Hooter Hiders were used during this adventure, so all the surrounding cars had a front row seat and Pop&Grandma had to keep their eyes forward. but, isabelle was happy, thus the remainder of the car ride went smoothly and we eventually got their, with two sleeping children. success. 

that was the craziest thing i have ever attempted. But boy did you guys do some crazy things.

back to my 2 winners!!!!
both will be recieveing a little Vera Bradley surprise package... i love that store! so send me your mailing addresses and i will get it in the mail this Friday!

Winner #1 for the craziest story overwhelmingly voted upon
she isn't a mommy.... yet,or as far as well know, but she did have the craziest story
"nursing during court while being questioned by the judge" (i guess being a lawyer, you really do hear/see a lot of crazy things)

Winner # 2 because i think its the craziest experience
for her "My husband held the baby I held the boob"
oh if i could just imagine how i would explain that to my hubby... 'honey come here, i need a little help, okay just hold the baby, now let me just, well, squeeze in here like that and, okay, thats perfect, now just stand there for about 15 min or so. thanks.' i don't know if that is how it went, but i would love to hear how you got to that option.


congratulations and thank you all for sharing, i loved hearing from all of you

Very cool stories! I think in the 'old days' we weren't so adventurous and much more private-unless we were 'hippies'. All of you are wonderful mothers and it is a joy to read about your inspiring mommy tales. What's the next contest-diapering in the air while flying a helicopter?
