Today our two Dumplings were worried that St. Nikolaus would not find them as we are traveling so it was with a huge joy to see their eyes light up when they did receive a letter and some treats today! Tonight I had some fun in stuffing Nectarines into their shoes after they went to sleep.
Oh how easy and fun it is to bring joy and laughter to eight year olds. How I wish we kept that magic into Adulthood. I do admit I think I held on to it to some degree as I still love reading novels and books about things and places that are magical and make is dream :) this is why my stories I hand over to the boys come so easily to me ... The Tree Ghosts that live on our mountains, the Halloween Witch and so on....
Today was a lovely day for us here in Washington. We got to visit with Ron's Uncle and Aunt, Jack and Gerry, who are such a lovely couple! The boys took to them so fast and hugged them several times throughout the visit.
We also had some time to let the boys swim in the pool and ended up the day with a delicious dinner at an Irish Pup and then some Gelato and Hot White Chocolate at a Coffee Shop/Wine Bar. DuPont is truly a lovely town and we enjoy walking everywhere and not having to use the car all the time. Of course the weather here is what one can expect for WA ;) rain, rain and more rain... If only CO would get a touch of this we be thrilled! I am truly believing that the 300 days of sunshine we receive each year in CO counterbalances to 300 days of rain they have here! This weather wants me to just lay down and sleep all day.....
So hope you all had a nice St. Nikolaus Tag!
Hugs,
R A C A
