Your mom goes to college

Emily’s mom goes to college! I jumped the last hoop! No more poodley Courtenay. I start December 1st. Morgan let me get some school supplies at staples yesterday to celebrate. And I found a cool French Vocab list and dictionary there too. So now I am good to go.

Morgan was teaching Emily to sing O Canada this morning. She sang “O Canada, our home and nakey land”. It was so funny. Either that or she sings “O Canada Mommy!!!”. We’ve been teaching her the provinces too. Her best is Manitoba. She like saying “Alberta-ta-ta-ta”. Just like her daddy she turns everything into a song.

Last week Emily was at Nathan and Danielle’s for a couple hours and she learned something mommy probably wouldn’t have taught her until she was older. Danielle let her walk around with their digital camera. She would stop and look at the screen and take a picture and then look for something else to snapshot. Danielle said most of the pictures turned out really well. SOO cool. I want to get her that kids camera you can chuck down stairs without recking it. I think it’d be really cool to see from her perspective what shots she’d take.

We are going on a mission trip to kamloops in a couple weeks. I dug through our toques and hats and jackets and found lots to give away. Next comes my closet. I’m taking pop cans in today and tomorrow Georgia and I and the kidlets are going to go get some sox and mitts and stuff to donate for the trip. I really love when we get to go and help people out. If you live in huncity or near it and you have extra stuff to give away you could let me know and I could even come get it to take to kamloops when we go.

Off I go to the bottle depot. Courtenay the Student!
