Messes, snakes and shots

So while I am trying to cook dinner is Naomi's favorite time to raid the cabinets that I forget to lock back up.  She is getting pretty good because I don't even notice until I hear a bag rustling in the family room and discover something like this...funny thing was she wasn't even eating them until I started to clean them up!  Thank goodness for leather!

 Clipping finger/toenails at our house can sound like I am pulling nails out instead of just clipping them.  I don't know why the boys get so crazy about it.  But Naomi apparently has no such fear.  After I was done she set about to do some touch ups!

 Another trip to the zoo, and the snakes were very active.  They must have been hungry which is totally freaky since they have this huge albino boa but the kids thought it was awesome.

 absolutely no fear!

 Can you tell how much this girl loves chocolate?

 Cousins came for a visit, and of course I only got two pictures, but we had a fun time even though it was rainy and cold most of the visit!

We started swim classes back up again and it is pretty awesome to see how much they have improved even after a few months off!  I don't have pictures because well it is hard to take them when I am in the water with a splashing kiddo!  They love being in the water and I love that they are learning to swim so that I feel they are a little safer around the pool!
I have been starting to get everything ready to register Peter for Kindergarten...whoohoo!! He is SO excited!  I have been trying to get the kids medical records transferred so I can get the up-to-date shot records...and we finally did so I took him to get his 5 year shots.  Oh my gosh!!  It was the worst doctor visit ever!  My kids have never had a problem with dr visits or dentists...but the nurse pulled out those syringes and Peter went crazy.  I ended up having to put him in a full body lock and hold his head so he wouldn't try to bite the nurse!  Which totally freaked the other two out so Naomi started crying and Isaac went and hid under the table.  Who knew 5 year olds turn into demons at the doctor?!?  They went ahead and gave Isaac his as well and even after all of Peter's outburst, he did pretty good.  So note to self...get all Naomi's shots done at 4! And daddy gets to take her :)
