EVERY vote counts!...

If you are a friend of mine on Face Book you would have seen me acting like a CRAZY person for the past month trying to get everyone to vote for  the tribe in a Chick-fil-A Fall Festival Costume Contest. Sorry for being a pain & posting every day about it but I really wanted to win! It started out as a FUN Fall family event & turned into this crazy competition. We went to our local Chick-fil-A for a Fall Festival one night last month. They had this costume contest for the kids which I thought would be fun. As most people know we LOVE Chick-fil-A & always attend "Family Night" at the one near my Mom's. Well, this was our first "Family Night" at the Chick-fil-A near us. The promotion sounded like fun so we were there. Camryn dressed as a "Damsel in Distress", Brendan a "Knight in shining Armor", Avery was a "Bride" & Lindsey was of course a "Mermaid"! {She said she wanted to be a mermaid & never wavered!}. It was a mad rush to get there & then get them all dressed to then have their picture taken. Everyone smiled EXCEPT Camryn. She was acting her part as the damsel in distress for sure! LOL! 



 Besides the Costume Contest they had face painting, pumpkin decorating & a characture artist. Well the costume contest portion of their Fall Festival turned into a Face Book only competition. We had to get people to vote on the best dressed child! Oh did I try to promote the contest. I think I posted something about it every day & pleaded with people to vote for them. It ended up that Brendan was getting more votes than his sisters. SO what started out as getting people to vote for the tribe turned into voting for Brendan. Nothing like splitting the vote! Ha! In the end on the last day of voting it came down to one vote. Crazy but true, & Brendan lost by ONE vote! Sadly I think I may have cost him the contest! You see every person could vote for each child once & I not only voted for each of my children but I voted for other kids too! I voted for the winner! If anything I'm glad he won because he was adorable! Oh by the way the winning prize which was 20 FREE MEALS! Yes, I think I was more excited about getting FREE food than him actually being able to claim victory! So the next time you are asked to vote for something remember...

EVERY vote counts!...
