Cow Day 2011

This was our 4th Dress Like a Cow Day. You can even look back on my blog and see the progression :) (it's always in early July) Getting ready this year was pretty easy because I had 3 years worth of masks, tails, and painted shirts already on hand. I like that our kids are happy to participate - of course they're little and dressing up is still fun - but I just wonder, my parents wouldn't have done this when I was a kid (dress like a cow for a chicken sandwich) and I turned out like this, what on earth are they going to be like! *sigh* probably horribly embarrassed by their strange parents.

But weren't the girls cute!

Annalise wanted a new mask, so I helped her make it and let her paint on the spots - nice job I think :)

Natalie isn't a big hat wearer, but didn't seem too bothered by her little cow coif I made (a 3 minute project - thanks to all the Renaissance research!)

Caleb and Rob were in Cape Canaveral on Friday, but there is Chick-fil-a there too and they completed their bargain outing (the launch tickets were free) by eating at Chick-fil-a too. Caleb had probably the easiest costume. I found a Dalmatian puppy costume at a yard sale and he wore that. Buuuuuuuut he thought he looked silly and since he is getting almost old enough to read my blog for himself, I will omit that (very cute!!!) picture. He asked me to take this one though:

Here is the ketchup that came with our meal - I think this idea has been too long in coming!
