Sunny Day in Coral Harbour. I just noticed that I haven't taken pictures of our house yet... When the temperature, becomes reasonable again I will go out and do so. It is presently -38 but feels like -54. Thankfully, Brian was able to drop off and pick up the kids today so I wouldn't have to walk with them. This afternoon, school was cancelled (they send the kids home at -50). Despite the cold, five of our young Inuit friends made it tonight. I MADE them put on their fur-rimmed hoods to walk back home. I felt so bad, some of them not even wearing any winter pants (some is poverty, some is pre-teen "I want to be cool"). We had lots of fun tonight playing monkey in the middle and colouring. I also made a filling and nutritious snack (spinach extraordinary cheese dip with crackers) as well as a treat (Jello). I was happy to hear that on Wednesday nights there is a girls club at the school for girls in grades 4 to 9. These kinds of programs are a necessity to give this generation a fighting chance. I hope there is one for boys as well.
