Home Depot: Lil Toolbox

Tomorrow, Saturday, June 18, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the Home Depot is hosting a special Father’s Day workshop. The project is a toolbox for Dad.

My kids love attending the FREE Kids’ Workshops at Home Depot. They get to build a project, earn a certificate of achievement, and receive a pin to adhere to their orange Home Depot aprons.

In the 2-3 years our family has attended these workshops, our Home Depot has never run out of projects.

If you will be near a Home Depot in the morning, then stop in to attend this event with your kids. With no registration needed and all supplies included, you can enjoy a fun family event for the price of gas to get you there. Enjoy your family this weekend!

Chick-Fil-A: 2011 Cow Appreciation Day

Do you know what time it is? No? It is time to get your cow costume ready for the annual Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A.

The event is on Friday, July 8. If you dress like a cow from head to toe, then your combo meal is free. If you choose to only wear partial cow attire, e.g., a hat, a shirt, etc., then your entrée will be free. Here is a download for a cow costume.

This event is for the entire family, and it is so much fun. Last year, my mom was visiting, and she helped to “make” our costumes. She cut out cow spots and ears to adhere with tape to our white shirts and hats. Our “spots” fell off numerous times, but it was a fun free family event. Though the lighting was not ideal, I am still including our bovine family picture.

This year, I am using black acrylic paint to design the black spots on the white tee shirts I purchased from Hobby Lobby for $1.50-$1.99 each. I also wrote little slogans on the shirts. Now our “spots” will not be falling off our costumes.

What are you waiting for . . . get mooving. (Sorry, I couldn’t help the cow reference.) Mark your calendars, get your costumes ready, and enjoy a great free meal at Chick-Fil-A on July 8.
