These odd shoes will live at our front door (as we don't have a fireplace) for 3 weeks, in the hopes that Sinterklaas and Zwartepiet will fill them with treats each night.

All I can say is THANK HEAVENS FOR ANWB and FIONA. It was pouring with rain as I was getting the girls strapped into their seats after Savannah's hockey game. Boy, was I glad to be getting home. One little problem--the car was dead. The battery was fine. Cars are all computerized these days. Mr ANWB couldn't get the car to start (which sadly happens to be a computerized card key). Wasting many hours sitting outside the hockey fields in Wassenaar, waiting for a mechanic (who couldn't help us) and then for Bryn to bring the spare 'key' (which didn't work), and then for the tow truck (to get the car to the Renault dealership and us to a rental car--only to figure out Bryn didn't have a driver's license with him--and I wasn't with him--and he was far away--and we only have 1 car), meant that our precious Saturday was basically a write-off.

Welcome to Holland, Sinterklaas! He left the girls a chocolate initial in their shoes tonight. Guess who ate Sophie's?

Wishing Gem would hurry up and get online so we could skype...

I have wanted to make banana bread for so long, but somehow, we never seem to be able to let the bananas get to this stage. Now that I'm sugar detoxing, bananas are a no-no, so maybe that's why we have so many ready to be transformed into delicious banana bread.

A new place allocated to all things Bryn.
