House Renos
The contractors started our bathroom renovation yesterday. We had a bit of a short notice on their starting (45 minutes!), but I sort of suspected they would be coming so that was no biggie. Yesterday, they managed to gut the whole bathroom. Yay! No more mold!
Here are some pics of my itty bitty bathroom with just a bathtub in it. By the end of the day, that was gone too. Many thanks to all our neighbours who are letting us use their bathrooms and showers as we need to!

Kung Fu Panda!
We took the kids to see the movie Kung Fu Panda today. It was a pretty good movie with a lot of humour in it.
Zachary really enjoyed it, but Corbett was pretty tired and fell asleep about 2/3 of the way into it.
If you get a chance, go see it!
The boys went swimming in our pool today. Actually they went skinny dipping. Don't worry, I won't post pictures! Corbett is definitely going to be a pool rat!

LOCKDOWN
Yesterday, Zachary's school had to undergo lockdown procedures. They have practices for this, so all the kids know what to do. I always wondered if it was really necessary.
Apparently it was.
The school sent home a letter telling the parents about the lockdown and saying that the police had initiated it due to an investigation taking place in the area.
Well, a friend of mine was trying to pick her daughter up for an early dismissal, and according to what she saw, this was no investigation. Unless Police have taken to blocking off entire streets, wearing full protective gear and surrounding buildings while heavily armed during an "investigation". But hey, I have been wrong before.
I want to trust that our Police Service felt it was a situation that needed to be dealt with right away, and couldn't wait until school was over. I really do. But my kid was in a building that was near all this "investigating".
Don't get me wrong, I am happy that the school is looking after our children's safety, but it just makes me sad that our kids have to practice procedures for this. Very sad indeed.

Summer is Here!
We had a wicked thunderstorm last night. The kids didn't mind but it scared be bejeebers out of the dog. Thankfully it cleared up quickly - today was beautiful. Very fortunate, since it was Vada's birthday party. Vada is the daughter of a very close friend of mine. I am not going to post any pics from the party that any other kids are in because I haven't asked their parents, but here is one of Corbett completely enjoyig the sand and water table. Vada's party was a Princess and Pirate party, so Corbett is wearing a black bandana. Just in case you were wondering.
Really. Don't you think he should get one of his own?
Zachary played camera shy most of the party so I don't have any to post of him. Maybe tomorrow!
