This morning the kids and I went to the pediatric clinic to get flu shots. I could have gotten mine cheaper somewhere else I'm sure, but that would have meant a separate trip, plus R was wanting me to go first to show him that it didn't hurt. He didn't cry at all--he held my hand and was very brave. Alexee was a little more vocal, but it didn't last long. They got stickers and then we were off to get an ice cream reward at Cold Stone Creamery.
Showing his bandage and sticker:
Alexee wanted to sample R's chocolate. I tried the "sinless sweet cream", which as you might guess, wasn't that great. I wasn't really feeling like eating yet anyway, so I should have just saved the money on my cup.
This afternoon, Rhett & I worked on our turkey pinata that we started a few days ago. I cut tail feathers, wings, a head and beak out of a cardboard box lid and Rhett painted them. We made a neck out of a toilet paper roll and a beard out of fake fur (that I had on hand for some odd reason). His beard has to be repositioned--I think it should actually be on his chest rather than right below his beak! We made feet out of pipe cleaners and hot glued him all together. I don't know how long he'll hold. Now all we have to do is add the candy and figure out a way to hang him up.

What a great turkey!
I can't believe this turkey! Oh wait, yes I can bc you always have creative ideas...but he's awesome!
As for the flu shots, we need to get them too, but I can't make myself go. The last time Jaiden had to get four shots the same day and the nurse said it was "almost inhumane"...she had to go back for one more after that and I promised her it would be a long time before she had to get another one!
That turkey is awesome!! I'm impressed.
