Sweet girl, or monster in training?

My lil' Zoe really is a sweet girl. I promise. But she has had me questioning her motives this past week. First, earlier last week, Steve got me some bottle caps (that's what the baby was carving!). I was distracted, watching some sort of tv show with my bottle caps besides me, Steve was taking a nap in our bedroom and the kids were running back and forth being kids. Then, Zo decided to be sweet and cuddle up next to me. Ahhh, so cute! It didn't last long. No surprise there. At the end of my show, I wanted my bottle caps, so I reached out for them, and they weren't there. I looked all over for them and couldn't find them. So, I went to our bedroom to see if I left them there. They were in there, but I didn't leave them there. My sweet, cute, lil' girl stole them! She had eaten almost all of the bottle caps. The best part was, she was putting the warpers in her daddy's folded hands while he was sleeping, framing him for eating my bottle caps.

And then, this weekend, while we were picking up the place, Zoe had the bright idea of getting a hanger, and hanging one of her babies by it's head band. She also found a plastic bag and put her other baby in the bag. She played with them that way for most of the day. Can we say early anti-terrorism in training??

Here is baby #1.

And baby #2

Makes you wonder what they did to deserve such treatment? Maybe the hogged the bed the night before?

And in other news: Zoe got her stitches out today. She did ok. She didn't much care for the removal part, but was soooo good for the cleaning part. She no longer needs a huge wrap anymore, but just a couple of band-aids. They said we could stop putting band-aids on at anytime. So, Steve and I are going to keep them on for a month. Well, not another month, but a month total since the accident. She's still babying her hand. It was really cute to watch her eat her sandwich this afternoon with one hand. She ended up just taking it apart. But on the way out of the ER (that's where we had to go to get her stitches taken out. They didn't want us to take her to her regular doctor yet) there was a fire truck right outside. Jake really wanted to see it up close, so Steve took him over there. Just as they got there, the firefights/E.M.T's got there and asked if he wanted an even closer look. They let him get up inside and offered to put the firefighter hat on him (he didn't want the hat on at all). Pretty cool, huh? Steve snapped a picture of him in the fire truck. Then, they had to go, because the firefighters got another emergency call.

He looks so excited to be in there. He's holding some crackers and a popsicle in a cup that the nurse gave him and Zoe today.

Here are the kids in the ER waiting room before we were called back. Leo was cranky (it was nap time) and the only way to calm him down was to play horse, but Jake and Zoe wanted to play too. So, Steve got all the kids on his lap and bounced them up and down. It was really cute! As you can see!!!
