Birthdays and Batteries

I've been talking about it for sometime now, but today is Noah's birthday!



We had his party Saturday night. It seems like Christmas has already come to our house because there are new toys crowding up the family room.



speaking of new toys: Kyle has a theory that the major toy companies have deals with battery manufacturers. Every toy Noah got for his birthday requires batteries. Not just one battery, but more like 3 or 6 batteries per toy. And there is no off switch. The toys are made to "automatically turn off after 2 hours of non-use." Which means, "We want the batteries to work overtime even when your child is not actually benefitting from their source of energy."



So, until some bright person develops a way for modern toys to run without batteries, we'll just keep on stocking up whenever there's a sale.
