Backyard Drama

If you have been on facebook in the last couple of days, then you have already seen this. But because I have no life lately and therefore am at a loss as to what to blog about-I am blogging about it too. We have some lovely neighbors. These lovely neighbors of ours are at it again. Apperently, when they decided to buy a house in a neighborhood, they failed to realized that in suburbia, there are many dogs and children who love to play outdoors when the weather is nice. Chad was outside in our backyard when he noticed this little kind sign from our sweet next door neighbors. It was at the top of our hill, nailed to a tree, high above the fence, facing our yard. They must think highly of us to go to so much trouble in sending us a message.

I don't know weather to laugh at the absurdity of the effort that they took in finding the wood and spray paint, painting the sign, getting a step ladder and nailing it to the top of a tree, or to be flattered that I have so much influence in their lives. And before you ask, no..they do not have any children. So I can only assume that along with their childish behavior, they also need naps like children. My only advice to them is to either get a sound machine (like we have for our children's naps) or move to a city where no child is allowed to enter..or dogs for that matter. Needless to say, I have not stopped my super cute, and noisy kids from enjoying our backyard.



Sooo...I was thinking, just as soon as Chad gets the branches cleaned up and hauled away..I am planing on having lots of giggly little kids over to jump around in our bouncy house. I haven't yet picked a day, but I know the time...between 2 and 5.

You should put up a sign that says, "Our kids playtime is between 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, please schedule your naps accordingly".

Ha ha .... be careful!!!

Lol! That is just too funny! I can't believe they nailed that sign up. I figured they must have kids but then you said they don't even have kids! Seriously, people these days!

Oh my gosh, that is so crazy! And to think that they don't have any kids, what is wrong with them? Just wait until they do have kids!
I'm glad you haven't stopped letting your little ones play, I just wish we could be there on the day you have a bouncy house party!

What a bunch of jerks!! Makes me so mad just thinking of that. I say blast some music and get them really ticked off. Some people!

Love it! Play away:)

Keri said...

I'm coming over EVERY day between 2-5 k?
I think they moved from a mental institute. Don't conform your life around them!

are they an older couple like in their 80's or something? daniel has a grandma who's 92 and i seriously doubt she takes a 3 hour nap let alone a 15 minute one. you definitely need to host as many bouncy parties as possible, lol.

LOL! I think that is awesome that some people go to such lengths to send a message! I wouldn't have stopped my kids either, I would just make them wait to play outside until it was 2 p.m.! LOL
