Default Check my MAD skillz...
So...
as some of you may know... my two year old... is... umm... challenging. Well, today he tossed my keys over the balcony into the neighbor's yard below. I went and knocked, but she was at work. Her gate was locked.

So... mildly panicking for a sec since we have a playdate in 2 hours...
I ran into the kitchen, found a ball of twine (who the heck has twine???), a strong magnet and a ziploc baggie. I put the magnet in the baggie, popped a hole in the baggie and tied it onto the twine, dropped it over the balcony, hovered over the keys until caught (took maybe... 15-20 seconds), pulled them up.

RESIDENT EVIL SKILLZ FOR TEH WIN.

I'm so glad I'm a gamer mama.
