This evening we finished up our pictures for Sinterklaas. Eliot and Miles put out their shoes, which Miles promptly absconded to wear around with his backpack. After dinner, we continued our celebration of Intocht Sinterklaas (Sinterklaas' arrival) in Holland. Eliot put his Sinterklaas list out and a colored picture rolled up between his clogs. He left some goodies in his clogs for Sinterklaas to enjoy: kruidnoten (a little like gingersnaps), chocolade Kruidnoten (covered in chocolate), and Sint schuimpjes (snoeps, sweets). Lekker (delicious)! Miles had drawn a picture with stickers. Jim and I left a carrot for de paard van Sinterklaas (Sinterklaas' white horse) and a poem. When everything was set we sang a song (2 times because the first time was pretty pathetic) with help from our Sinterklaas CD: Zie ginds komt de stoomboot. http://www.liedjesland.com/Liedjes/Sinterklaas/
Poem for Sinterklaas by Whitney and Eliot
Hickory Dickory Do
We left you things in the shoe
Just get them out
But don't give a shout
Those pictures are for you
Hickory Dickory Do
There's one more thing in the shoe
It's a wortel for your white horse
We couldn't forget him, of course
All that we wrote is true
