Moo!

Today is Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A! If you dress like a cow head to toe, you get a free combo meal (you still have time to make it for dinner)! Or, you can just wear some form of cow clothing/accessory and get a free entree. How cool is that? Except that you have to dress like a cow.


Brad didn't want to participate (at first), so I made Mallory and me cow attire to wear (Morgan will be subjected to this embarrassment next year, when she can enjoy the food). I totally copied Chris and Sarah from last year, but it was perfect...since it was free. All of this was put together in 35 minutes, don't say you aren't impressed! Side note. You don't get the full effect from the picture...it was a skirt and matching top:)




We made the trek to our neighborhood CFA (that's what we call it around here or Mallory would drive us crazy saying, "I go to chick-e-lay!", over and over and over and over). My friend Candace and her fam joined us up there. I sat in my car for about 5 minutes waiting on them. I was starting to chicken out (ha!) until I saw them pull up. And then, guess who else joined us?? Brad. But, he was too cool to wear the cow attire. Looooooserrrrrr!! I should have taken a picture of all the free food we got. It probably totalled over $15! Plus, we traded in the toys from the kid's meals and got free ice cream. Seriously. I love Chick-Fil-A!!

Although it doesn't look like here, Kendall really did have a good time!


So, for 5 minutes of embarrassment (I totally took the costume off as soon as we sat down to eat...hey, it was a trash bag, it was hot!), we got a great lunch and gave people some free entertainment as well!

Love it...and it doesn't surprise me that you did it. What fun! And, of all the things I will miss, one of the greatest is CFA!

That is so awesome. I would have ONLY done this with you. It doesn't surprise me at all that you did this. I LOVE it!!! I wish I had known about it, that is great!!

Um, sooooo want to participate next year. Remind me so I can be a cow too!

You are the most fun mom ever! She is going to look back at this and laugh (you'll probably do it every year until she is old enough to get embarrassed!). So cute!

Hey Shannon! I totally forgot about cow day at CFA! We even had an old cow costume from Halloween! I love your new blog design!

You go girl! I can't believe you did that. I would do something crazy like that for CFA. I do love that place! We don't have one up here. They are going to open one soon, so I am excited. On our most recent Texas visit, we wanted CFA, but it was Sunday. Sad for me, but I'm proud of them for sticking with it!

Only a cute and confident lady like yourself would have the confidence to dress up like a cow and look attractive doing it! You go girl!
