cow appreciation day

July 10th for Cow Appreciation Day at one of my all time favorite fast food joints- Chick-Fil-A! If you dressed up like a cow, you got a free meal. Of course, when Kassi and I heard of this fantastic day, we knew that me MUST participate. So on July 9th, the planning and preparations began!



Kassi and I- so psyched to be getting everything together for the big day. Have you ever seen two girls more excited to dress up like cows?
Our cow shirts!

The little girl shirts! We couldn't leave my sister and nieces out of the festivities!

We draped a few of the shirts over the couch to dry while we worked on some other projects...



...unfortunately, Nathan came home from work in his nice white polo and sat right on the couch- getting black paint all over his back. That's why he is pouting in this picture. Luckily, we caught it fast enough that I was able to get most of it out. I bet if I had some OxyClean it would have come right out- just like on the commercials.


We had to paint the famous Chick-Fil-A "Eat Mor Chikin" signs. Here they are drying by the fireplace- so they'd be all ready for the next day!
After hours of preparation at the apartment, it was time to get some beauty sleep, before meeting up at Jessica's house bright and early the next morning.


Cow make-up was a must. We had to go all out! Melody and Bethany were so excited to get their make up done. And doesn't the shirt look so cute? I must admit I was jealous of the little girls shirts after I finished painting them.



Bethany loved everything about Cow Appreciation Day.


Mooooooooo!

Mel- pretending to be a cow. Isn't the tail adorable?! While Kassi and I were making shirts, hair ties, and signs- Jessica was making all us tails. I told you we were going all out!!


We had to stop by my mom's house to get pictures taken before we headed off to Chick-Fil-A. Here we are- all set to go!

And a shot from behind with our awesome tails. You are probably thinking that we must have felt ridiculous going out in public like this. Not a bit!! We were proud cows!

Can I get a w00t w00t for the cows?! I can't hear you!
Mel wore her fancy black shoes, because they were more like cow hooves. Yes, that's right- we even considered our footwear in this whole scheme.


Sexy cow # 1 - Jessica Stanley!! Mooooooo!!!


Sexy Cow #2 - Kassi Larson!!! Moooooo!!!!


Sexy Cow #3- Tarin Lunt!!! Mooooo!!!
Now, let's get out there and Eat Mor Chikin!!!!


The whole cow gang eating our delicious free chicken! It was so awesome, we just went up to the register and could get any meal that we wanted.



Melody's kid meal- Chicken nuggets, fries, chocolate milk (not pictured), and an awesome little cow toy!




Here's our final pic with the giant Chick Fil A cow. Mel isn't in this picture, because she was scared of him and Bethany isn't looking at the camera because she was too busy talking his ear off.

It was such a fun day and of course we were the most awesomest cows there! Lots of the other cows just taped some black construction paper to their white shirts, or colored them on with marker. Sooooo not as cool as ours. And we were the only ones tails and signs rocked the socks off any competition. We can't wait to do it again next year!
