Chickened Out

What kind of 40-year old wing nut decides to dress up like a cow with her daughters, son, nieces and parents? Me!! For a free Chick-Fil-A spicy chicken sandwich, fries, and lemonade I would have mooed too!! Here is how it went down!

The crew was getting it together at Nana & Grandpa's house.

The gang with one of the Chick-Fil-A cows.

It was quite the production that day, tons of people.

Our fave costume was a prego woman with part of her belly showing and udders attached.

We each got a coupon for a free meal since we were

"dressed head to hoof".

I added this lovely hat at the store. Kind of creepy!

The cashier said, "You're total? Zero dollars."

Love that!!

I received this lovely letter in my email the next day....

Deer Chikin Eatr, Thank U 4 Appreeshiating Us!

"My pleasure!"

(ha ha)
