Something Strange in the Neighborhood!

Something strange has been going on after bedtime at our house. A few nights ago, Gary and I went to check on the kids after they were asleep and we found them in bed, wearing outgrown winter hats and mittens. I must admit that it is not unusual to find Jimmy sleeping in one glove (a black one, ala Luke Skywalker) but to see him sleeping in a hat that barely covered his hair with mittens on both hands was unusual. To find Amelia sleeping in like manner was downright strange. I wondered what they had been up to. The next night, we found Jimmy sleeping on the closet floor, wearing hat, mittens, and a padded vest. We do not have a cold house. We keep the thermostat at about 70. The third night, after bath, Jimmy raided the old winter clothes yet again, making reference to space travel. A clue! Space travel...

To continue the winter clothes in bed saga, the other night, Amelia came up to Gary in a padded vest right before bed. She requested that he snap up her life jacket.
She says that every night, she goes sailing in a pink ship with Jonathan.
