Cow appreciation day

It is one of our favorite national holidays  today!!
This is our third year that we have put on spots to get free meals.

Last year we saved our signs and cow masks- that we made out of paper plates. William pulled them out last night in preparation for today. We checked to see that everyone had a white T-shirt. We cut up a piece of black construction paper to make our spots. (Yes, we get new spots each year- we aren't that cheap that we save those too ;)   We remembered to bring the camera this year.
 You are allowed to have any meal that you want. I got a grilled chicken salad with fruit. The boys had chicken nugget combo meals. The total for our lunch said; $20.11--- we paid---- $00.00. Love it.

Swagbucks

Hey!
Have you ever heard of Swagbucks? I decided to download the toolbar so that I always search from it. You earn swagbucks that you can cash in for gift cards and prizes. I actually read about several ladies that have earned enough to pay for all their Christmas purchases. I don't expect it to be that good for me. But an Amazon.com gift card every now and then is incentive enough for me to use it.

Just click on the swidget on my side bar (where it says sign up) and that will take you to the site to learn about it. It will also help me. If you sign up, every swagbuck that you earn will also be credited to me. The more people that you encourage to sign up under you, will help to increase your "bucks".

Since I watched a CNBC documentary about google- I am a little nervous about using them. I love this alternative.
Check it out!!
