Late last night I was sitting at my computer and heard someone get up and go the bathroom.
Nothing unusual, someone’s always doing that.
Mia came downstairs and I decided it was time to go to bed.
I went upstairs and noticed a trail of drops in the hall at the top of the stairs.
I figured it was Ethan sleepwalking again and that he hadn’t made it to the bathroom.
It’s been a long time, but he has used other things for a toilet when he was sleepwalking like the garbage can next to the toilet and his lego table.
I assumed I could follow the trail back to Ethan’s bed and on to the bathroom.
That didn’t happen.
Upon further investigation it went into Caleb’s room, around the corner and up to Mia’s cat bed.
I turned on the light and found a puddle of pee in the cat bed.
I smiled and started cleaning it up.
The lights woke up Ethan and he came out into the hall and I told him what happened.
He started laughing and just then Mia came upstairs.
He started petting her and then said, “Why is Mia all wet?”
MIA WAS IN HER BED WHEN ETHAN WAS PEEING IN IT!!!!!
A fit of uncontrollable laughter came over me and I could hardly breathe.
I went into the bedroom to tell Jason what had happened and he couldn’t understand a word I was saying.
Ethan had to tell him what I was trying to say.
Poor Mia!
I am going to have to hang a sign above her bed that says, “I don’t sleep in your toilet, please don’t pee in my bed!”
The foyer is my favorite place to decorate. I love this cupboard my mom gave me. It's easy to switch up the decorations for each season. This year we got this beautiful nativity scene that my parents brought back from Africa. The stockings are hung on the wall because they would get burned on the mantle.
I whipped up this centerpiece yesterday. There are so many evergreens around here it would be a shame not to use them in the house. We even have a holly bush on the property! Ethan was especially impressed by it, he said it was "super Christmasy."
This year I made an advent calendar out of a shoe organizer. You can learn how to make it here. The number cards are 4X6 prints that I created then printed at Costco. The hard part is putting something new in the pockets each day.
I also created this Christmas card holder. Yes, I have been unusually crafty this year. The fresh country air just brings it out in me!
This is our tree. I love the sled over the fireplace that Jason's dad gave us a couple of years ago.
And our new ornaments for this year-Bigfoot Country and Oregon coast crab
Happy Holidays!
