Beautiful Patience

After a beautiful patience building 45 minute wait this morning; Cassie and I were able to see the doctor regarding her arm.  Tendinitis just like we thought... physical therapy, arm brace, continue icing etc...  She can play volleyball it will just hurt but will not cause further damage.  After the appointment we went to Maurice's for jeans for Cassie and then Kohl's to pick up a pair of shoes for Mackenzie.  Of course we couldn't resist going through the clearance shoe section at Kohl's....

Everyone should have a pair of these right?  :-)
We did decide to leave them behind for some other "lucky" shopper.

The rest of the day was fairly uneventful, mostly working on school assignments with the kiddos.  I did make up two more raw food experiments.  Today is day 4 of the raw food cleanse and Cassie is definitely ready to be done with it.  I don't really mind it but it does require a lot of "chopping time" in place of the cooking time.  So today's creations are:

Raw Zucchini with avocado and pea pesto

Here's the link for the recipe- I didn't add extra peas on top - http://www.whatscookinggoodlooking.com/whats-cooking-good-looking/2012/8/21/raw-zucchini-pasta-with-an-avocado-pea-pesto-raw-vegan.html

We made walnut tacos for dinner.  They were yummy.  Thomas even asked to try them.  After his sample bite he asked to please have a whole one for himself .  Here's the link for them http://mydarlingvegan.com/2013/01/raw-taco-salad/

This raw food adventure has been great for finding meals and snacks for Mackenzie too as she is a vegetarian.   

The boys just went back out to race their RC trucks.   They spent some of their free time today re-making their course.  Pa used a brush hog on a section of a field behind our garden/pool area and the boys have been steadily raking at that area in preparation to make it into a "real" dirt course for their vehicles but for now they are still racing around on the grass.
