Julia started day camp at church today. She has asked to go to camp all summer so hopefully this will satisfy her camp desire! She was so excited that they were going to the boy scout camp and doing "real camp things"!
After we dropped Julia off at camp this morning Charlotte and I made
plans to go get breakfast. She loves Chick Fil A drive thru but is not a
fan of going inside because of the cow, which is apparently the
equivalent of a Jason mask to her. I bargained with her and promised her
that the cow would not be there. It was way too early for the cow to be
there, he was still at the barn taking care of chores which she thought
was he funniest thing ever but agreed to go to Chick Fil
A if that was true. So we pull up to Chick Fil A, open the door and the
first thing out of my mouth is "oh crap. I forgot it was cow day".
Every one in be building with the exception of us and 2 others are
dressed up as cows. The girl ordering smiles and says "oh, I have extra
spots!" as the girl behind the counter hands me a cow headband, neither
of them realizing that that's the least of my worries. Charlotte is
slowing tightening her death grip on my leg while trying to inch towards
the door. I order, explain that she's terrified of the cow while the
sweet employees try to tell her that cows are really sweet and distract
her with sea turtle talk. We managed to get to a table with no tears
although she hasn't left my side and I'm pretty sure my dreams of
wearing her out in the playground so she'll nap good this afternoon are
shattered. So, in case anyone forgot, today is Cow Appreciation Day at
CFA. I'll accept my mom of the year award now.
Eventually she got distracted enough that she took a few happy pictures for me!
