I can feel it in the air, I’m starting to moo….
For those of you who DON’T know what Cow Appreciation day is, I will tell you so you can start moo-ing every year at this time!
Chik-fil-a has a day (this year, July 9th) where you can get a free combo meal (any one!) if you dress like a cow. We’ve done it for 4 years in a row and my kids love it. It doesn’t have to be elaborate! Although some people DO go all out! Here’s what we do/have done:
1. Take white t-shirts that are old or have ripped a little that we don’t care about, and paint black spots on them.
2. Once, we took black shirts and cut out circles of white paper and safety pinned the circles on the black shirt.
3. We make paper ears (imagine an indian headband from first grade with feathers on it….only ears) and paper tails that we staple to the back of the shirt to hang down like a tail.
4. We wear pants/shorts that are black or white.
5. The kids usually paint their faces with old halloween paint or smudge my mascara on their faces.
They are at the age where this is fun, and YES, my husband and I dress up too (although my husband has refused the tail). We all eat completely for free. Now, if you don’t do much, just wear black and white or something simple, you can get a free entree. But if you do like we did at least, you will get a free combo meal. And in case you are wondering if the place is packed…we always go for dinner and it’s not. I can’t vouch for lunch time though.
Happy moo-ing!
