Christmas in October


I just found THE best way to get your kids a lot of "new toys" and spend practically nothing. Brace yourselves..... BY NEW BATTERIES! Chile! I just bought a 24 pack of AA batteries and a 10 pack of C batteries. (of course they weren't energizer but a decent, cheaper brand *wink*) You would've thought it was Christmas. My boys were all so excited to play with their old toys.

Have you ever noticed that once a toy runs out of batteries the child wants nothing to do with it anymore? Have you also noticed that adults hardly ever replace them? Even in daycares they have all these cool battery operated toys that flash and sing and dance, etc but basically NONE of them are in working order. Sure if the occasional toy runs out I might put new ones in. Now I've decided that I'm going to buy a big pack a few times a year and keep on top of making sure every toy has enough juice to run. I mean if they're just sitting there not only is that now a waste of money but it's cluttering up your home.

Try it. Your kids will thank me for it!
