With Christmas quickly approaching I am of course shopping around for toys that I think my children will appreciate. Oliver this year requested "the coolest coolest toy that he has ever seen" upon further investigation we discovered that this means a tractor or a concrete mixing truck. The other day however, I started to wonder about the intelligence of spending money on toys when my children are every bit as entertained by an empty box or a drawer full of sippy cups. Oliver spent at least three hours carving pumpkins out of styrofoam the other day and has never been happier.
