At my house when we go out to play in the
frontyard, the kids are never content to get out one or two things, we have to get out practically every ride-on toy we own. It was quite enjoyable for them, and even for me. I was able to admire our over-cast sky and cooler weather, while not having to make any effort to entertain (unless you count, getting the countless ride-on toys out of the garage). And lest you think I bought all these ride-on toys, I can assure you I did not. I am a hoarder of ride-on toys, and can't turn them down.


Free. I saw this out in a field. Stopped my car. Left my kids. Trekked out to the middle of the field. And loaded it up in my car.

Free Big Wheel. From our Enrichment swap a few months ago.



Not Free. But second-hand, almost perfect condition, and super, super cheap.

On-sale. Seriously discounted. By the way, I am talking about the ride-on toys, not the children. Although there are those days......


Completely full price. It still pains me to say that. Not even on sale.


Completely Free! And
Hotwheels no less. Given to us by a neighbor who was moving who had a son who loved
Hotwheels almost as much as Jackson.

Supposed to be super cheap, but ended up costing more than I figured. But still considerably less than a new one. The garage also holds, one more
scooter, another motorcycle, and 3 more kids bikes. I am holding onto the bikes because I refuse to get rid of them, only having to buy them in another 2 years when Sadie wants one.

The backyard looks much the same. All free or gifts! And all regularly played with.

I love cheap as well...although FREE is almost as good. Don't feel bad about the Jeep...remember my sweet deal on the Hot Wheels 4 wheeler? Well we ended up buying a new battery and charger...$80 later!
Loving the free stuff. Although I draw the line at grabbing stuff off the side of the road. By the way, Emma has the exact same bike Megan has. We also paid full price. Jake's bike have all been free though.
And you say that you aren't a fun Mom. At least the kids won't be saying that they are bored. I think it's cool that you have so many toys - and good deals at that.
Man-you are a hoarder aren't you? Good thing you are watching that show so you can see what you will become. I should have given you our 2 bikes we put on the curb!
OK OK...I am impressed! Your kids have cool toys. You know I am not one for toys!
When I was a wee one, I wanted a ride on Jeep sooooo bad! Never got one. So, I am so happy for your kids that you are a cool mom and won't deny them such happiness. Plus, its awesome that you get most of these at such a bargain. Score!
I love how homes in Arizona & Nevada look exactly the same!
