While my dad, Lila and I trimmed up some shrubbery in the front yard, my new neighbor had a truck arrive with some giant rolls of plastic and a blower. I assumed their basement flooded or some such nonsense and went about my trimming. No less than 20 minutes later I decided to push Lila on the swings and OH MY GOD A GIANT BOUNCE HOUSE IN MY BACKYARD! After several minutes of attempting to explain private propery to an awe struck 2 year old trying to get in the bounce house, I opted for the smarter option of distracting her with the swings. Fortunately, the Senators were scheduled to arrive later for a better distraction, and we eventually did get to enjoy the bounce house among various other shenanigans. I give the new neighbors an A for showmanship, after learning the rental most likely cost upwards of $300 for the day. I'm not sure how I'll be able to top Lexis' birthday and now this one, but hopefully Lila doesn't learn how to compare events for a few more years.
