Why do we buy toys?

I often find myself wondering why I buy toys? It seems as though my boys find so much joy in things that are free, so why spend the money?

My Boys are always finding things to play with beyond the toys we buy. They can practically make a sword or weapon out of anything they find. They are constantly finding sticks and turning them into a sword. And who needs a play house when you have a tree to climb. Or, In Landon's case who needs a rattle when he has his feet.

From sticks & rocks to trees & feet.....Why do I still continue to buy toys????? It's a mystery to me!
