We have officially become the graveyard for Power Wheels. We never set out for our kids to have any but somehow we have accumulated $1500 worth of Power Wheels for less than $20 in the past 4 years. The kids love them (as do our neighbors) but our garage is a tad full these days. It started with our neighbor a few years back throwing a perfectly good PW JEEP in the garbage. Then, a guy having a garage sale around the corner gave us one he didn't sell and then last week I am at Goodwill and the guy that works there (who knows us well) tells me he has something for my kids. Now you should know he has told us this before and he came out with a stained REDS sweatshirt and a pair of beat up Barbie shoes so I wasn't overly exicted about the news. But then, he drags out a motorcycle and a digger in mint condition! It was their 1/2 off sale of all days and he just wanted them out of his storage room so he told me I could have both for $10!!! I don't know who was more excited, me or the kids! Needless to say I maneuvered (ok, more like stuffed) them in my van and we have had endless hours of speedy fun!!! There was a catch though,I told the kids that if we brought them home they had to give away one of their jeeps to someone who didn't have one. Which they totally agreed too...Wouldn't you for a pink and purple Harley????

super fun. you all do have the best luck! yay for new toys!
We really do.. it's kind of humorous and kind of perplexing yet kind of humbling and I feel totally undeserving... Hopefully my kids share generously and to the fullest (and realize that their "real cars" someday probably won't just be given to them)
I love that Lilly is standing up on her Harley, watch out for that little motorcycle momma!!!jk
LOL. I am sure your neighbors don't think of you all as the 'rich' family who buys their kids the entire line of powerwheels! :-)
haha well, I'm sure they did until Parker happily and loudly announced, "Look what we got at Goodwill!!!!!' He tells everyone we go "shopping" there.. :):) My kids live for 1/2 off Goodwill sales. We have the calendar on our fridge and they check it religiously:):)
