Batteries…..or a Vacation??
We were at the store the other day buying yet another pack of double-A batteries. If we kept track of how many batteries we buy these days…hmmm, batteries or a Mexican vacation? It doesn’t bear thinking about. We managed to put a little dent in the battery budget recently by getting the kids a pair of those battery-less flashlights that run by hand-cranking them. We also put up hooks in the kitchen where the kids have to hang their flashlights when finished playing with them; not only do we know if a flashlight is missing, we all know where to go for a flashlight in an emergency. As you put one under the tree for the kids, think of those warm Mexican beaches…
