"Get off me!"

I just finished cutting the kiddos nails after their shower.  With Maggie this is no big thing, she actually enjoys getting pampered and we have even ventured into painting finger and toe nails.  Jack on the other hand, is a nightmare with nail cutting.  He fights it with all of his being!  I have to literally SIT on him, hold onto his hand or foot for dear life and still struggle with getting good cuts.  For this very reason I wait until the last possible moment before I can stand the idea of cutting his nails.  After a weekend of apple and pumpkin picking though, it was time.  Throughout the entire experience I have Maggie in one ear alternating between "It's OK Jack, it doesn't hurt me." and barking her "Woos, woos".  Jack in the other ear is shouting "Get off me!" and growling at me.  Somewhere during the struggle I twisted my knee and now it is throbbing, but luckily Jack happily announced when we were finished, "I all better now!".  Yes you are my son.
