We had a super fun neighborhood block party a couple of weekends ago. There was a balloon artist, spray-on tattoos, snow cones, beading tables, lots of yummy food, live music, and lots of great company. Our neighbors across the street, who have become great friends of ours, and us watched the girls frolic to the music. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (until the girls' balloons popped on the way home).

Update: Nerine's comment made me realize I forgot to note the pink shinguards!! Thanks, Nerns. Lucy starts soccer in a week and is oh so very excited for it...the weekend we got her cleats and shin guards she wore them constantly and would have worn them to sleep in if I'd let her. She also wore them to school one day. We're hoping that the actual experience lives up to her expectations!! (And it's hard to believe how tiny her cleats and shinguards are...so adorable.)
