Cow Appreciation Day-July 14

 Chick-Fil-A has this event every year, called Cow Appreciation Day. If you half-dress like a cow, you get a free entree.  If you fully dress like a cow, you get a free full meal.   Every year we seem to miss it, but not this year!
I had fun making Ian a little cow costume.  It was fairly quick and easy to make, just a onesie with felt cut-outs sewn on.  I like the way the ears turned out.  Ian looked adorable.  I didn't make the big two kids a costume because I didn't have the time, energy, or resources.  Besides, they don't eat much and Ian wouldn't eat a kid's meal, being only 5 months.  So they ate Ian's meal. They maybe asked once why they weren't wearing black "clouds" like everybody else, but they didn't seem to mind much that they weren't. As for Erik and I, I simply pinned some black "clouds" made out of felt onto white shirts.  I couldn't resist making some udders for Erik to wear, haha! We got free sandwiches. We ordered fries and that was good enough for us because we don't care about the drinks. The kids had a good time playing in the play place and Erik and I enjoyed the (mostly) free meal!

And a flashback to our very first Cow Appreciation Day back in 2010.  I think Gabe was just over a year:
