Yep, that means Mr. Fix-it is pulling 70+ hour work weeks again.
That leaves me with lots of extra time on my hands after the kids go to bed.
So my house is super clean this week from my late night vacuuming escapades and I'm blogging more. Lucky you! ;)
On Friday, Mr. Fix-it called to let me know he was going to be late again. It was almost the kids' nap time and I still had to squeeze in my "dreadmill" workout. And I hadn't had a chance to put our dinner in the crock pot yet.
And then I remembered that it was Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-a (which just happens to be the kids' favorite restaurant) and that if you dressed like a cow, you could score free food!
Um, yes please!
So I laid the kids down for their naps, did my work-out, and then sweatily threw together 5 cow costumes with a little black construction paper, masking tape, and black paint.
Wala!
I'm not usually very creative but when it comes to getting out of cooking AND scoring free food, well this Mama can come up with anything! ;-) Resourcefulness at its best!

And since I have to eat, as well. I sucked up every ounce of pride in me & decided to become a cow for the evening, too.
Ya know, there's just something about dressing like a cow when you're in the middle of a weight loss journey after birthing 4 back-to-back babies and you still have 20 pounds to lose. Just not good for the self-esteem. Haha
But for my kids & for free food, I guess I can do it.

The kids had a blast. We all ate for free. And they even traded their kids' meal coloring books in for free ice cream cups.
It just can't get any better than that! It's all about the memories in this home. ;-)
Happy Monday!
