What I’ll Do to my Children for Free Chick-Fil-A

July 15, 2008

in Circus Shots, Motherhood

I LOVE Chick-Fil-A.  I could go on and on about how family friendly they are, how good their food is, how I think Truitt Cathy is such a great example of a godly businessman… but I will save my love affair with Chick-Fil-A, the inventors of the chicken sandwich, for another post, or two…enjoying their free food

Friday was Cow Appreciation Day.  I know this because I subscribe to the Chick-Fil-A e-mail updates and I am in on all things up and coming at Chick-Fil-A.  (See, I wasn’t kidding when I said I love Chick-Fil-A). How does one celebrate such an occasion, you may ask?   Well, Chick-Fil-A offered free meals to anyone dressed like a cow. 

So, I did what any good mother would do, I dressed up put my three helpless children in cow costumes and took them to Chick-Fil-A for dinner. 

we love chickfila

 

Their willingness to parade around in public dressed as bovines, combined with the free coupons I had allowed me to feed my family of 5 dinner for only $6.28. 

We had a fantastic time, eating our favorite fast food and playing on the in door play equipment.  Scott couldn’t help but snap a few pictures of our family fun night.

  Mooing for her supper!!

 

A good time was had by all!  My 2 year old didn’t want to take off her costume… she went to bed dressed as a cow.

You should submit these photos along with a resume to NASA. They’re always interested in monkeys who enjoy the sensation of weightlessness :) Hey! You never know. There might be some colonization planned and they need a couple of zero-gravity addicts who will be in their 40’s by the time the spacecraft arrives at its destination :)

Ah. Oops! I meant to leave that last comment on “No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed”
Ok…Hey! You should submit these photos with a resume to NASA. Who knows? They might be looking to send some cows along on a colonization project and need lots of milk (???) (ooo boy…I better quit while i’m ahead!… :) )

I have dressed up in the past but this time I had to give my apron to my oldest son to wear with his “I Heart Chick-Fil-A” shirt on top. I did wear a “Eat More Chicken” tee shirt though. But, it didn’t earn me free food. I had 2 coupons for free Chick-Fil-A sandwiches for my hubby and I and then I bought two drinks and a medium fry.
