Call us COWS!!...Only today though!

So if you haven't heard already, TODAY is Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A! If you dress from head-to-toe as a cow, you will get an entire free meal! And since we're HUGE fans of Chickfila I thought why not dress everyone up (except Daniel) and head to Chickfila?? The kids were up bright and early, so we headed over there at 8 a.m. for breakfast.

We were the first ones there with costumes on, so we got a huge applause when we entered the door and they were quick to take our pictures. And we got free breakfast (yum!) and a visit from the CFA cow! Christopher was super scared of the cow if he came anywhere near him, so I had to hold him anytime the cow was near....poor cow.

So after a few hours of playing, we decided we'd head to a different Chickfila for lunch! (I know we're crazy, but I can't pass up a day of free Chickfila!!). The next store we went to, we were also the first ones there to dress in costume, so we were asked if they could take our pictures and had to sign a waiver so the store could use our pictures for marketing. The Marketing Manager was there too and actually brought us 4 FREE Peach milkshakes on top of our free meal for going "all out"!! Thank YOU Chickfila!!


Now I just have to decide if I want to venture out to another one for dinner...hmm. The kids say YES, but we'll see if we have enough energy and guts...or maybe if I can get Daniel to dress up too:)

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus...Contemporary style

Yesterday I went to the store for a few things and ended up buying a Nativity set and displayed it in the house. Of course, it wasn't long before the kids found it and started playing with the pieces. Matthew ran around saying "Baby Jesus!...I love you baby Jesus!" and then Katherine wanted to pretend that Christopher was baby Jesus. So a few towels, headbands, and bathrobes later, this is the outcome:) Katherine praying over her newly born baby Jesus- Katherine and baby Jesus so excited and filled with joy- Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus in the stable (yes, with a Christmas tree in the background)- Luke 2:14 "And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth."

A Little Bit of Christmas...

I've had a lot of fun this year decorating for Christmas! Last year we really didn't decorate since we had just moved into our house and weren't even in town long enough to enjoy it. Plus in years past, we've had a 4 foot Christmas tree that was "child-proof". Well this year our tree is definitely not child proof but I guess we took the risk. It's been great watching the kid's faces every morning looking at the tree and turning on the lights and train underneath it. We also figured out that the train calms Christopher down and sometimes puts him to sleep! Last night he was really fussy and after a while we weren't sure what to do. So we just sat down in front of the tree and turned the train on for Matt, and Christopher just watched it go around and round for a while and stopped crying! We'll have to try that again!...maybe we should keep the train out year round! :) Daniel was in the Christmas spirit last night and decided to wrap two presents...
