Sunset was beautiful this evening. This fall, we have been enjoying perfect views of the sunset from our front windows. In the summer, sunset was so late and to the northwest, out of our view.
In the evening, we got our shoes ready for Sinterklaas. Eliot made a few pictures. Miles got to put the carrot in his shoe. Jim had made chocolate chip cookies yesterday, so "he" put out a treat for the Piets. I wrote the poem. We sang Zie ginds lomt de stoomboot (Eliot's favorite) with help from our CD. Then it was off to bed.
You arrived lieve Sinterklaas
Into Delft you did steam
Bringing along so many Piets
You have quite a team
We enjoyed the boats
The bands and the jet skis
Everyone was so happy
The Piets really aim to please
Then you got up on your horse
And paraded all through the town
Waving to the crowds of kids
Where there was not a frown
We've left you some cookies
For you all to eat
They are the chocolate chip kind
Enjoy this American treat
