A Star is Born

Actually several stars were discoverd last night. Our number in the Christmas concert went off without a hitch. The teacher was a bit nervy but the kids were cool as cucumbers... nothing to be nervous about when you are that cute.

When they left school at 2;30 yesterday afternoon I suggested baths and shampoos. I have all those little soaps from motels ect that they just love. They came back to school all dolled up. The Inuit don't do dress-up clothing. Outfits serve one purpose... to stay warm and dry. It is actually very freeing not to have to worry about having a new dress for an event. My little scamps came back smelling like roses, shiny as new pennies. Then some fool was selling popsicles to raise money for a school trip. Wonderful.

Our song went very well. They sang their little tonsils out. And their signing was right on. People were very impressed as Lissie has only been teaching them about 6 weeks. You can't imagine how proud I was of them. It would be difficult to say who was proudest, the little performer, the parents or the teacher? It felt great when it was over though. I don't realize how much self induced pressure there is on me until something is over. I celebrated with Captain Morgan and watched William Shattner on that silly legal show. He makes me laugh out loud. Perhaps it is not the show that is silly but me watching it.

Most of my girls are in CGIT and also sang several hymns. We were major disappointed that the uniforms did not arrive in time but it has already been decided to do some sort of show in late Feb.

So.. two more days and then I shall hitch a ride with Santa and head south.
Have a great day.
