Dinner at Brent and Sally’s

We went to Brent and Sally’s again, and this time Brent was cooking! We had a loverly dinner, topped by an even more loverly plucot tart. (I think that’s the word — those plum/apricot hybrids). The company was of course delightful. And, again, the kids had so much fun with Sally. They are still talking about going to Sally’s house again. :)

C and Ruby were staying up later than usual because of the jetlag craziness, and this coupled with the fact that Portland is further south than Oslo meant that they saw a lot of night time while we were there. Now, it’s not unusual for the children to experience darkness (we get a whole winterful of it), but they found it very unusual that it would be dark and warm at the same time. Crazy world!

Those two patches on the wall were tests. They decided to paint the ceiling blue and the walls orage. Man, I love those guys.
