So the other day, we decided to go on a nice little day trip.  We heard from some friends about this drive thru farm that had crazy llamas, yaks, buffalo, deer, bunnies, lions, tigers, bears, elk, zebra, and even a rhinoceros with a six foot horn.  You get to feed them and they come right up to your car.  So we had to go.

From Seattle, if you drive, its about two hours… or you can take the Ferry over.  Thats what we did, and it was awesome.  The view of the Olympic Mountains and the whole Puget Sound and Seattle city views are amazing.  Our little girl loved the ferry and loved going outside and enjoying the sites.

The Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, Wa is super fun.  We stopped at a store and picked up some wheat bread (thats all you can feed the animals), and went to zoo.  IT WAS SUPER FUN.  All I can say is that you need to watch this video of our trip.  ENJOY

The Boy is huge.  Believe it or not, he is in six month clothing… and filling it out well…HE IS SIX WEEKS OLD!

The Girl will be two in April and is sassier than ever… her newest thing… wearing mom’s make-up when she is not looking

Last night, I had my first “real alone time” with both kids.  My wife went on a little shopping trip, and then to a movie… leaving me with little girl, and the 4 week old boy for like 6 hours.  The first few hours were pretty hectic… but then I got to feed the boy for the first time.  He has only been boob fed until now.  We have about 60-80 bags (our freezer is full of boob juice) ready for the eating.  As soon as it was time to feed the boy, I thawed out some milk and gave him his first bottle.  He drank it all up… 9 oz of it!  Then he quickly filled up a bunch of diapers before falling asleep.

With Wyatt sleeping, I was free to concentrate on getting the girl bathed and tucked in to bed.  The night went really well.  Usually the boy will want demand some food every two to three hours.  But I think that this time he got really full.  He slept from 8-1:30am.  Then mom came home and hooked him up when he got up.

I have a chance at surviving two kids after all.

This is something that really bothers me for some stupid reason.  Why is it nearly impossible to find newborn and infant pajamas with zippers.  What is the deal?  Zippers are way easier, faster, and look better.  So why would they do this to us.  I was at Kohl’s today, and the Carters rep, just happened to be there.   The conversion went like this…

Carter’s Lady:  Can I help you find something?

Me:  Yeah, I need to find some newborn or 0-3mth pajamas with zippers

Carter’s Lady:  We have some really nice ones with buttons

Me:  I don’t want buttons,  I hate buttons, I want zippers

Carter’s Lady:  Well, we don’t have any of those, in-fact we have phased zippers out of infant ware, and are not even making them anymore

Me:  That’s the stupidest thing I have ever herd, are you kidding me?  Why would you do that?

Carter’s Lady:  Well, we have had some negative feedback about them. Some people are zipping up their kids skin

Me:   Those people are stupid.  With a zipper you just zip once… with buttons you have at least a dozen chances to pinch their skin in the button snaps

Carter’s Lady:  And people also….

Me:  People are stupid, zippers are faster, eaiser, and look better.

Carter’s Lady:  I will let someone know

Me:  You do that.

So… I’m an asshole.  But is it too much to ask to have at least the option of having a zipper.  I spent all day looking for these endangered species of sleepwear, and only found two, really ugly ones.  So I stocked up and bought a few of each in different sizes.

I’m now deciding to put together a store that has nothing but pajamas with zippers.
