Life as a Yowler

I wouldn’t consider myself a huge germaphobe, but I am a slight germaphobe. The thought of picking up the corona virus as we are about to head into California has crossed my mind. I realize the chances are slim, and I know I’m not overly rational. Caed woke up coughing today and my first though was “oh boy. I hope it isn’t corona virus.”

Ive been doubling everyone’s dose of these vitamins in an effort to up our immunity. I’ve also been shoving oils on the kids each night. Not to start a debate, but we are also caught up on all our vaccines. Hopefully we will be ok.

We’ve been getting our school done every day by about 10:00am. Thank you three hour time difference for helping us to get a nice early start. We headed outside as soon as we finished today. It’s 75 degrees and beautiful!

Joah taught his siblings to play football.

After Brandon was finished with his store trainings, we made a last minute decision as we usually do. We decided to conquer Las Vegas and take the kids to Hershey’s. We parked 15 minutes away, so we had a little walk getting there.

We stopped a couple times for pictures.

Our picture flashed across the jumbo tron. Unfortunately, I missed it by a second(taking a picture I mean). I didn’t want to wait another 15 minutes for it again, so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

I’ll end with a typical Yowler story. We caused quite a scene and quite a commotion at Hershey’s today. Surprise surprise. We rode the elevator up to the second story of the store. When we were waking off the elevator, Isla stuck her hand right between the door and the wall as the door was shutting. Her hand got stuck. She started screaming. I’m not usually a panicker, but I totally panicked. I thought her hand was coming off. I felt so nauseous and light headed. I literally almost fainted instead of helping her. I am terrible in emergencies. Brandon was able to yank her hand out. She ripped the skin off two of her fingers, but other than that she’s totally fine. Hopefully tomorrow will be less eventful.
