Random things

Our friendly neighbor Cindy gave us some of her Christmas yard decoration that she used in prior years. Now they decided to go with a different decoration and she asked if we wanted her old ones..of course we did!! Jonah and Olivia had a blast putting everything up and when it is dark all the presents and stars look pretty cool! Thanks, Cindy!!


This is now our house in all it's decorative beauty:



My Mom made for the first time in her life a gingerbread house. Well, a pre-made one but it was fun for her to put it all together with the help of Olivia.
The house turned out pretty and it lasted for about 3 days until the kids decided to eat it. Unfortunately, the candy on it got really hard so after the house was half eaten, I threw it away. Olivia and Jonah did not even realize it so shhhhhh!!!

On a completely other note:
Since several weeks Jonah is sweating the heck out of himself during nap time and his night's sleep. When I get him he's soaking wet, from hair to his toes. I need to wash the complete bedding and his PJ's. We tried different things to keep him from sweating (lighter bedding, open windows, turn on the fan, no pans or shirts, just diapers...) but nothing helped...every time after waking up he's completely soaked and the sheets look like he peed into bed...really, a big wet spot that covers the complete top half of the mattress.
He as well started to get the bedding completely over himself and when he wakes up and I am there he said that he was hiding...nightmares??

So we got his toddler bed out of the basement and put it into Olivia's room...and guess what! He does not sweat any more! It really looks like he has nightmares of some sort even he's not whiny in his sleep. After sleeping twice in Olivia's room his sweats are completely gone and he really sleeps long hours now.
So after 4 nights we put him back into his room and he's sweaty again. So now he's back in Olivia's room and I am thinking about getting them bunk beds. Olivia really likes her brother being in her room, they share everything nice and Jonah loves his little bed so much, that he goes into his bed and puts the bedding up to his chin even I want to get him dresses!! LOL
So, we'll see how long this will last...
