Even Dave Ramsey Would Approve

Bob mentioned that we should get something fun for the backyard, maybe a swingset or basketball hoop. But I knew instantly what we needed: a trampoline. I used reasoning that would appeal to his athletic nature, like the fact that a trampoline would provide great exercise and improve their balance.

But I had my own reason for wanting one.

Check out our $300 playpen!

I can zip Elizabeth in there. And she can’t get out! And she doesn’t want to get out either! Then I get to lounge on the patio, sipping iced tea while I feed my cooking magazine addiction!

This might be my best parenting idea yet.
