Mikayla suggested that we have an outing to go get flu shots. She thought her children would be somewhat more willing to go if we were with them, and after our flu/pneumonia experience last winter, I was keen on having us all get shots, too. In addition, our insurance was offering anyone who got a flu shot before December 31st a $100 gift card to Target. Considering the financial situation we are in, $400 at Christmas time would be a huge blessing. So I agreed we should all go. Today was the day. We tried not to freak all the small (or big) people out with the thought of a shot, but Brick was crying almost before we left. When we arrived, there was drama and screaming, crying and arguing; it was generally a fiasco. But in the end, all the Barri got a shot, and all the Johnsens but the twins got one, too. And to sweeten the deal, we went for frozen yogurt when we were finished. Three cheers for being healthy and preventing influenza. At least, fingers crossed we stay healthy and don't get influenza.
