Saint Martin's day
Today is a big day, tonight all children go with their paper laterns into the neighbourhood to sing a song for a sweet. That's because it's Saint Martin's day. Lisa made a nice paper latern at the creche and learned a few Saint Martin's day songs as well. Around 5 o'clock in the evening, it's time to start, with Mama she goes by the doors in the neighbourhood. After 45 minutes Lisa thinks enough is enough, the back-pack is filled with sweets so we go home.
