FLU SHOT PARTY OR HOW TO BE A GOOD EXAMPLE....

Ron, have you had your flu shot this year?

Why yes, I have, so you can exclude me from the following festivities.

Sighhhh......

Amber and the girls decided to let Bumma have the "privilege" of keeping them safe from the flu this year.

Mama Amber (who from this point on will be referred to as Wimpy) decided she would go first, just to show the girls how easy and painless it was going to be.

 Getting ready...

(Just for the record, it is NOT necessary for you to click and enlarge this picture to look more closely at the mess that is my kitchen at this time... Thank.you.very.much)

Briqelle was terrified and willing to do ANYTHING not to have her shot.

But after "Wimpy" bribed her (and I lie not....for 20 minutes!) and settled on "girls night out with chinese food and smoothies"

even Briqelle got her shot

But didn't we say that "Wimpy" was going first? Why yes we did, and we were also going to document for all to see, what a good example she is to her children. Oh, and BRAVE, lets not forget how brave she is.  The needle after all is at least this long...

While this picture doesn't do "Wimpy" justice, to show how fearless she really is,

 lets just say, she was

 S.C.R.E.A.M.I.N.G.

at this point.

Now how bad was it REALLY?

Don't you feel just a little humiliated?

Next is the 4 (yes FOUR)year old's turn....

Where are the screams,and ooohhhhs and whaaaaaa's?

And is that a hint of a

S M I L E?

and don't I just heart myself right now, because it took some courage

for this Bumma to

poke her darlin' with a needle!!!

She wouldn't have cried at all, but the good example that went first, (remember "Wimpy?")

put a bit of fear into her 4 year old mind.

That wasn't so bad.

Jama...he gave everyone his sympathy tears, I think he was afraid of the

"oh so mature noises" coming out of "Wimpy".

He was one happy little dude, once "Wimpy" quit

going BERSERK and scaring him.

After all was done, everyone was rewarded for their bravery

and got to make their own mini cakes.

All except "you know who".......

Maybe next time

Oh,

and just in case you are wondering if Bumma had her flu shot at this party.....

of course not.....

I am the

MOTHER

WIMP!
