Why I LOVE Freecycle

I posted on Freecycle earlier in the week that I was looking for an activity table for Trevor (I was NOT going to pay 40 bucks for one of those things!) and to my excitement got a response that very night. The man had one in great shape and I could pick it up whenever I was ready! YAY! So today we made a trip to Jonesboro to pick up a few things and stopped by to pick it up. To my suprise he had added another toy to my haul. A HUGE plush block with shapes on all sides, hidden pockets, zippers, buttons and music. This thing sang a song about a triangle ALL.THE.WAY.HOME.

This is oddest, loudest, most awesome, mildly annoying toy I have ever laid eyes on. Add my gorgeous husband to the mix and the annoyance level rises slightly. Trevor LOVES it of course, and I can't figure out a way to lose a 15x15 inch, singing block anway so I guess it stays. According to Google, these suckers are expensive. The cheapest one we found new was about 60 bucks. Who in their right mind would pay 60 dollars for this kind of punishment? Apparently you can buy extra music cartridges for this thing too. At least that would offer some escape from the repetitiveness of this gadget.

Anything for my kid. If he's happy, I'm happy. I just might have to buy stock in ear plugs.

*sings* 1 2 3 its a tri-ang-le! Count to 3 and make a tri-ang-le!
