I was sitting outside on a blanket with Turtle while The Boy rode his tricycle, and Mr. Neighbor came out to his SUV to leave ... he backed over his empty garbage cans, and then drove straight over one of them so I WENT TO HELP HIM PICK THEM UP! Score one for me for being the helpful neighbor (not so much as when one of our other neighbors helped him sod in the rain, but hey, I was nine months pregnant! And it was a monsoon!).
Anyhow, so I'm hoping that being the helpful neighbor scores me some points and not that Mr. Neighbor will now be embarrassed because he was the idiot who drove over his garbage cans and got one stuck under his vehicle and I was there to witness it.

Maybe you could invite them over for dinner sometime?
I don't really know how it's done either. When I moved into my first house my neighbor came over with a bottle of wine. We were friendly, but never interacted that much (even with a shared driveway).
