More blogging as promised :)

A couple weeks ago for their family night activity, Chick-fil-a had Disney night. Since Kaelyn already has a Tinker Bell outfit, we dressed her in that. Kevin and I had discussed trying to dress up as Beauty and the Beast but I'm not sure either one of us had the nerve to do it if we would've been able to figure out how to do it. As it turned out, we were very glad we hadn't as almost no one dressed up (that we saw anyway) except for Kaelyn and a couple of Rod and Betty's kids. Kevin and I ended up wearing Disney t-shirts. What we didn't know was that if you had any kind of disney stuff on, you still got your entree free even if you weren't in full costume. They had the cow there, Disney coloring sheets, a prize wheel, etc. I won a free waffle fries and Kevin won a free desert (from spinning the wheel). We knew Kaelyn would get her meal free because of being dressed up but we didn't know that some of our's would be free also because of our shirts. Between the free entrees and the coupons we won, we spent around $4 for all 3 of our meals. We were happy about that of course. Kaelyn was NOT impressed with being in costume but she wore it long enough to get there and get her food (and get a couple of pictures). Besides, she got a cool "goody bag" with all kinds of princess stuff in it since she was the only one dressed up. So... here are pictures from Chick-fil-a's disney night:


Don't believe the fake smile - trust me, she
was not smiling most of the time when she
was dressed up. After much cajoling, we got
her to "grin" for a picture so that she could
"go inside and get her food, then take the
dress off".


Thinking about whether it was worth smiling
for the picture so she could get inside and get
the crazy costume off.


They had this inflatable "Mater" - you know like
Tumater without the Tu (sorry couldn't resist)
from the "CARS" movie. Under normal circum-
stances, Kaelyn would have been much happier
to pose but there was the whole dress thing.


Even the cow couldn't cheer her up because
of the evil costume she was forced to endure.


Britt and Jessica Brown


Coloring Disney pictures - the cow actually
did color and quite well for having ginormous
"paws". He did better then I do without
all the garb on.


Kay-Kay and the 3 youngest Brown children coloring.





After she got her clothes changed, she was
much happier and wanted to dance with
the cow - don't ask. Okay, you don't have
to ask, I'll explain anyway. :) The first
time she ever saw and fell in love w/the
cow, (at the Christmas parade last year)
he held her and danced with her because
she was just so taken with him. So of
course now, she always has to dance with
the cow. Gotta' love the way that brain
of her's works.


Most of you will probably not understand
this but it is pretty amazing that she will
sit and color now like this - great progress!
