Faith, Food and Family

I think many of us really aren't able to take a vacation this summer. If we're not able to go anywhere, I still want to make it a summer filled with memories. There are still some great ways to make your summer awesome and spend very little. Here's some things you can do. Go to the park. You can pack a picnic lunch to make it even more fun. Check your local theater and see if they have any cheap summer movies. Our local theater is a Carmike Cinema and is running a great promo right now for Summer Movies . On Tuesday they have a movie for $1. It's an already on DVD movie but hey, it's only a dollar and a fun experience for kids to go to the movies. If you're like us, taking the kids to a regular priced movie is rare, even a matinee. It just is so expensive. They are also offering dollar popcorn and drinks on Tuesdays so that makes it an even better deal! Check for restaurants that have kids eat free specials along with a craft or activity for the kids.

On Saturday, I took the boys to Lowes for the Build and Grow clinic. We were supposed to all go but hubby and daughter were very tired and stayed home. The boys had a great time! They built a pirate treasure chest. It was so much fun and we'll definitely be going to the next clinic they have. I highly recommend these clinics. Check with your local Lowes and see what they have going on. And make sure to get there a little extra early on the day of the clinic. They only have 50 kits each time and once they're gone, they're gone. They were out by 10:30am and it started at 10am. And best of all, it's free!

Today was cow appreciation day at Chick Fil A. If you dress like a cow, you get free food! So what's a litte humilation for some free food, right? LOL We went tonight. I got a picture of us before we left the house. Husband refused to dress up. :) Once we got there, my husband and I start laughing so hard. I think he was a little embarrassed to be seen with us! LOL I decided to go late. We got there at 9pm. I'm thinking, they won't be busy. Well there was quite a few customers in there. None of them were dressed up. So our daughter started getting embarrassed and then our 6 year old did too. The youngest just really didn't mind. LOL Some younger guys were in there and started asking about the cow appreciation day. They didn't have any cow stuff on but the employees said that they could run around the restaurant, flapping their arms and mooing. That would get them a free milkshake. Okay, I thought it was embarrassing to be dressed like a cow but I'll take dressi...
