Flu Shot Extravaganza 2019

Back to school means it is time to do our annual, VERY FUN tradition of getting a flu shot.  If there is one thing I've done right as a parent, this is it.  My friend and I have turned getting our flu shot into an event that is celebrated and very much look forward to.

For several years now we have ditched the pediatrician's flu shot clinic and found ourselves at Target.  It's actually an amazing situation -- not only do we have the flexibility of going whenever we can find a mutually convenient time, but we also get $5 gift cards to spend at Target for each of us.   And who doesn't love free money to spend at Target?!?

Sam is doing a stellar job of getting the shot and not causing a scene.  This is refreshing and we almost can retire the game that goes on, "how long will it take the nurse to administer the vaccine?"

We are in a good groove and this is our third year going to Olive Garden after for dinner and then Baskin Robbins for ice cream.  Why mess with success?   It's easy, everything is located within the same shopping center area, and the kids enjoy the food at Olive Garden more than they reasonably should.  :)

Gosh, I love these kids!!
