just when I thought there was nothing to say...

...the kids sent out letters to Santa Claus. Samuel has asked for this police car that is battery operated (not human operated), with working lights and sirens and wheels and working windows (if you can) and a place for a drink (this is an important one). He asked for it last year for Christmas and the year before and decided to send out a special request in July and also wanted Santa to know that this should not in any way be his only Christmas gift and could actually be sent special delivery right now (leaving Christmas free for other gifts). He also asked for a baby doll for Eva so that when his police car arrived she would have something to do and he didn't want her to feel left out of the fun. The police car is a two seater, leaving a space for Eva in the passenger seat. I am really wishing him luck on this one because, as he says, he would really enjoy it.

Eva was inspired after Samuel told her about the baby doll and she wrote up another list to send to Santa. The list Eva sent had all kinds of things that Samuel would like. Things like a race car and robots and mango tango drink and some flowers and I wish I had made a copy of the list before I sent it because it was very sweet and thoughtful. But no, we sent out the letters, stamped and addressed to Santa Clause, The North Pole.

We are also still waiting for a lego Cloud City that Samuel can bid on and win. The last one seemed like a sure thing but at the last minute someone came in and placed a bid that was much too rich for our blood, at least for the time being. There seems, however, to be an unending supply of lego Cloud City sets out there. I wonder at the number of people who bought them and NEVER opened them, just kept them around to sell on ebay for quite a bit more than I ever thought a lego set could go for. Just goes to show ya', there is always more stuff to want.
