Dress Like a Cow

Tuesday was "dress like a cow, get free food" at our local Chick-fil-a!  I almost never go to Chick-fil-a, but I love it and so I thought it might be fun.  Jeff was going to be gone overnight, so it would give me something fun to do with the kids!  At least it was supposed to be fun.  It was fun when we got there.  Zane threw a humongous fit because he didn't want to wear shorts and I gave it and just put spots on his pants.  And they still gave us free food even though they weren't black or white.  Zane does not like to try new things especially when he doesn't know what's going on.  We talked about it again later though and he said he had fun so I tried to reinforce that things can be fun even though we haven't tried them yet.  And I was happy with myself because I didn't just give in and not do it.  That would definitely been the easy thing. 

Chick-fil-a is really a nice fast food restaurant.  They have fresh flowers on all the tables and because it was a special even, the kids got free little stuffed cows, we got free pencils, Zane got a book with his kids meal and our food was 100% free.  Nice, I think.

Here we are having a good time:

Yum!  Chicken nuggets!

Cutie #1!

Cutie #2!

On the way out, there was a friendly cow mascot and I was afraid that Zane would be scared of it so I made sure to stop and ask him to say hi which he did.  But the way he talked about it on the way home, I'm thinking he may have thought it was a real cow!  

I'm hoping we can do this again next year and that Jeff will join us!  It's much easier taking the kids someplace with two parents, but Zane was really a great help and a good listener.  He wheeled Rachel's high chair all the way across the restaurant for me!  And next time, Rachel can eat chicken nuggets too!
