I Haven't Forgotten

about you, my dear readers. Somehow this week has spiraled away from me but I promise that many new updates will be coming soon- starting this weekend. I promise.

Mommy, Do You Want a Book on Your Head?

Just one of many strange questions I have been asked recently.......

Of course I politely declined stating that, in general, I prefer to read my books, rather than wear them.

Mommy, Nick Came To Our House Last Night

So at our house we celebrate St. Nicholas. For those unfamiliar with St. Nicholas, he brings treats to children in many countries throughout Europe. On the eve of December 5 and fills the shoes of children with treats. Our St. Nicholas doesn't fill shoes, but instead fills stockings that my mom has handmade for each member of the family. The kids usually receive their new ornaments for the tree from St. Nicholas as well.

We tried to explain what happens and that this isn't Christmas and Santa but she didn't seem like she really got it. However she must have understood something since she came in to the bathroom while I was doing my hair for work and said "Mommy, Nick came to our house last night." Apparently, she and St. Nicholas are on a first name basis.

Checking out what was in our stockings before going to school.
