These pics were taken of them in their "new" rooms. We moved Zachary into the 2nd biggest room formerly the toy room), but Corbett in Zachary's old room and put the toy room in Corbett's old room. This give's both boys more room to move in.

Sleep well my babies!
It really is true. No matter how bad your day has been, no matter how crazy your children try to make you, no matter how tired you are, there are few things more precious than a child sleeping.

Because we're brothers.
Me: Why do you two have to fight over EVERYTHING!?
Zachary: Because we're brothers Mom!
Corbett: No we aren't
Zachary: Yes we are Corbett. I am your brother!
Corbett: Nu-uh! I am YOUR brother!

Craig Mine Family Day
Each year, XStrata, Jordan's employer has a Family Day for their employees. It was held this past Sunday, so along with Gramma and Grampa Peter, we packed up and headed out to the Onaping Community Centre.
The weather was questionable, threatening rain most of the day, but luckily we only got a little bit of it. They had some displays of the various mining trucks used underground, a jumbo drill simulator, lots of kid friendly activities, and underground tours (only if you were 8 years or older).
My Mom and I went for one of the underground tours. I have to say the tour itself wasn't really all that exciting, but it was neat to go in and see Jordan's "office".
Zachary "driving" a truck just like Daddy's. I literally could not fit the whole truck in the picture, but trust me its HUGE!
Grampa Peter, Daddy, Corbett, Zachary, Mommy, and Gramma Margaret.
This shot and the next should give you a little idea of the size of the truck.......
Great big truck.....itty bitty children!

Safety First! Always Buckle up!

The First Day of School
Zachary was super excited to go to Premiere Annee (First Grade). He says he had a good time and that he enjoyed his class. His teacher's name is Mme Babin and she told them to be quiet in class and then they coloured. I am sure that he has missed telling me a whole bunch of stuff other then be quiet in class and colour, but that's a 5 , almost 6 year old for you!
Corbett got really sad when Zachary got on the bus and he couldn't go with him. Poor Corbett is used to travelling in the morning with Zack since their daycare and daycamp were close together. I think he was a little shocked that he wasn't riding the bus too!
I took Corbett to his daycare and droppped him off in the preschool room. When I picked him up this afternoon, he had just finished peeing on the potty and was still wearing the same underwear I put on him in the morning! He did have an accident later this evening, but I am not going to complain about that!
Here are some pics of the day!
Happy September everyone!

Perfection.
The Dentist
Zachary got in the dentist's chair and did a great job, opening wide and patiently letting the dentist polish his teeth. He didn't like the taste of the polish, but was otherwise fine. The dentist said that Zachary and his parents were doing a fine job keeping the pearly whites clean. He also said the top two teeth will probably become loose and fall out soon. Corbett didn't have an appointment, but said cheerfully "My turn now?", so the dentist had Corbett open wide and checked him out. Corbett was thrilled and so was I, because his teeth look great too!
The Optometrist
Again, my children are perfect. Their eyesight is great and they were very charming.
All in all, a good day!

One more day....
School starts again on September 3rd. Zachary is extremely excited to be going back, and going in to Grade 1. As it stands right now, he is in a split class (Grade1/Grade 2). I am not making any judgement on it, because I truly believe that it could work, if the teacher is right for that kind of class and if Zachary focuses. We will see what happens. After a great deal of searching, I found a Transformers backpack, so all is right in Zack's world!
Corbett will be moving out of the Toddler room into the Junior room at daycare and conveniently enough, his favorite educator is moving with him!
Corbett insisted on getting a backpack as well when we went shoping for Zachary, so we are going to use that opportunity to re-introduce potty training. He can use his snazzy Diego backpack to carry his extra clothing and underwear in!
Tomorrow morning Zachary is going to the dentist for a checkup and to show off his grown up teeth, and then both Zachary and Corbett have eye appointments. Cross your fingers that they are both patient and that all is well. I have no reason to think there are any issues, but it never hurts to cross your fingers!
