Off To The Races

Dave and I have been debating for a while about if I could go to the horse races.  They are free and I really wanted to watch them run.  But it is where people go to bet on the races.  I said I could just go watch and Dave said like I would watch Bingo.  I was not going to watch the people watch the horse races. I wanted to watch the horse run and hear the thunder of hoofs.  Saturday we went in to get a few groceries and went off to the races as well.  It really was great.  Not a ton of people there but the girls loves watching them run also.

Isn't that a great picture!!

We had Myrna over for Sunday dinner. The girls and I went on my Pinterest page to look for a dessert to try. Cora wanted to try this Chocolate Malted Ice Cream Cake.  It was super yummy.  Fast and easy too.

Leah was in her room for a while yesterday and when I went to find her she had all her purple clothes out.  She wanted to paint her nails purple and had called some of her friends to wear purple.  I was a little curious about this new obsession.  When I asked she said, "Mom, tomorrow is October 1st"  That really did not explain it at all to me.  She looked at me like a was crazy and reminded me that October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month and their color is purple.  This girl that can not remember 5 mins after I have asked her to clean her room, or 5 seconds after I tell her not to talk with food in the mouth does remember a year later about Rett Month.  Selective memory?!?  Good job Leah. (Cora said that she remembered also and came to the breakfast table wearing purple also.  Blake is a little miffed that I won't go buy him a purple shirt.  I told him we can make him a pin or something).
