...last night...

...courtney came home from her dance lesson ( that dad took her to for me - so i could rest up my foot in the evening ) -and brought home her note sheets from her dance exams on monday!

the medal tests are organized through the scottish dance teachers' alliance and most of the time, the examiner travels from Scotland to test the dancers...the girls always love chatting with the examiner at the end of the testing because they love to hear her accent!!

anyway...as i said in my post the day of courtney's exams, we were notified shortly after that courtney had done very well and received the highest mark you can get on both of her exams!!!

highly commended!!

well done again, miss courtney!  i know how hard you worked to do your best and it paid off!!

:)

...also, last night, while the house was somewhat quiet, i finished printing off photos on my Canon Selphy ( LOVE! ) and organized the rest of the pages to finish working on courtney's "teenager" mini album for her 13th birthday photo shoot!!!!

FUN!!!!

...the kids both had dentist appointments first thing this morning and i was happy to hear, once again...NO CAVITIES!  Yaaayyyyy!!!  And courtney was somewhat disappointed - once again - to hear that she is still not ready to get her braces on yet!  3 more teeth to lose first!!  ( but my wallet is happy we will get through chirstmas without telling her that 'guess what you're present is this year?'  Hahahaha!!! )

...tyler is looking forward to his "Bring a Buddy" bowling tournament this saturday through his YBC program - he is bringing a GIRL!!!  ( heeheehee - his longtime friend Kelly )

...and miss courtney is looking forward to her first winter dance competition this saturday morning as well!  this is the last competition until January...with the exception of her christmas dance concert coming up on Dec.4!!!!  ( family and friends...i sent out an email with the info for the concert...let me know if you need tickets or more info!!! )

....be back soon...

:)
