Pool, block party, and bicycling

Loved this weekend!!! We did most of the usual weekend things we usually do and for some reason I just loved it. I'm a creature of habit and love a good routine, so that's probably why I loved the monotony of the weekend.
The four of us hit up the pool both Saturday and Sunday...we had perfect weather in Indy with minimal humidity. The low humidity made for a very cool and easy long run (11 miles) and all of the weekend's activities more enjoyable.
Laney Bug still loves herself some water!!
Saturday night we took part in our very first block party. We had never gone in the past b/c we'd either been out of town or we didn't have kids to bring along with us. There was a huge bounce house, face painting, crafts and lots of food. We met a ton of our neighbors and made a handful of new friends (and babysitters!). I might even have some new running partners...who knew that there were so many female runners in the neighborhood!?!?
The Carmel Fire Department was there and gave tours of the fire engine, which Izzy loved.
Izzy also tried her first sack race. It was so cute...Izzy did a lot of jumping, just not forward. Girl just jumped in place and made zero forward progress. Hilarious. Obv she didn't win the race!
Sunday afternoon Katie and Christopher came over for an impromptu playdate. Izzy did her best to show off her dress-up skills.
While Christopher and Delaney had fun playing doctor. Um, let's hope this isn't the case in another 15 years!
Both Saturday and Sunday we worked hard with Izzy to learn how to ride her Roadster tricycle. By this evening she was a pro! She still isn't super speedy, but she is riding it on her own and quite proud of herself (so are we!). We're looking forward to the days when we can go on family walks while Izzy is pedaling beside us.
We cycled up and down the sidewalks.
And back and forth down the cul-de-sac.
Izzy was pooped after all that biking!
Laney was quite the cheerleader for her big sis...
This is how we end every night - both girls climb the stairs up for bath time and jammers. I just love how they do so much together.
After baths we decided on a whim to cut Izzy's long locks. Her hair is getting so long and stringy (I'm sorry to say she's got her mommy's hair) and this heat just makes it hard to keep it off her shoulders/back. She's also in a stage where she is taking her piggies out all the time. Problem solved: we cut about 3 inches off! It's now about chin-length again. Makes her little cheeks look uber chubby...I'll post pics soon!
