i ordered some cozy warm pajamas for Ash and Tom from oldnavy.com on the first of December. when the 14th rolled around i double checked my email, rather bugged by the delay. i mean, sure it's the holidays but come on. amazon sent me my package in less than 48 hours. so i track my package on UPS and come to find out, the package was delivered, on the 11th, on the porch in... Ephraim. noooooooooo! curse that conveniently stored account information (and my failure to notice that important shipping address detail)!
so i call our old landlord who says he'll check with the couple college guys renting our old place to see if they've seen a package with my name on it. he calls back with a nope so i ask if i might call (and put on a little more pressure). Lance is nice enough but says he hasn't seen anything. hmmmm, that's funny because the ups tracking is pretty reliable. so he says he'll ask Cam, his brother. oh, he found it.
then i call my good Ephraimite friend who says she'll drop by to pick it up. thank you! and bring it up north when she comes up for the holiday. thank you, thank you! we miss our first window to meet up and transfer the package, but eventually, after a Sunday drive, the pajamas are in my hands, and later on those cute kids.
moral of the story: blanket sleepers with snaps are no good. zippers are worth the hassle.

I avoid pajamas with snaps for kids over 3 months- you know, the ones who can control their legs. Zippers all the way!
I'm a snapper myself but maybe I'll change my mind when Norah is older.
Thanks Lance, Kel for more pressure, Cam, and Ephraimite friend...now Ash and Tom are warm and cozy.
Goodness me, this could be made into a holiday movie of high jinks. Except you'd have to ride in the back of a meat truck some period of time, and someone would have to knock down a pyramid of tomato cans in a grocery store, you know, to tie it all together.
Either way, I think a good Manheim Steamroller song could really boost your ratings.
I'm glad A & T are comfy in their well earned jams.
I thought the moral was to check the to make sure you have the right address on the account information...:) Ok the zipper moral is good too. Thanks for the story! It was SOOOO great to see you over the holidays!
i've been anticipating this story! and it was gold...except the part where you sent the pj's to ephraim. i like the zippers too especially when billy does the snaps up he can never line them up right. but maybe that's why i LIKE the snaps.
It was awesome seeing you! Your kiddos are even cuter in person. Can't wait for the next visit....
