Campfire

Monday night we had a campfire and Zorah's friends, Morgan and Marina, came over to play. Before they came over she put on her elf costume and hopped onto the trampoline. We had sewed real bells on it, so as she jumped we sang "Jingle Bells". She quickly got too hot in the costume, though, and had taken it off by the time M&M came by.

The next day Zorah felt sick. And the next. And so on. She is just now beginning to feel better. So we haven't been doing much at all.

A few nights in a row she had a rather high fever. Not wanting to give her standard medications, we looked on the internet and I tried remedies with the supplies we already had in the house. Oddly enough, onion slices in her socks consistently brought her temperature down to a manageable level.

Is it because they retain their moisture and draw the heat out of your feet? I remember sleeping once on a waterbed when the sheets came off partway. My skin was in direct contact with the "mattress" and I woke up freezing even though it was hot in the room.
