We don't have a tree house, or a tree, either. The lesson I've learned from having two boys on one grad student's stipend is that they would almost always play with an empty milk jug than some plastic toy from Kids'R'Us. We have a bunch of big old fancy plastic toys people gave us and the boys have spent a total of about 10 minutes looking at them. How long have they spent building towers from old cardboard boxes and knocking them down? I haven't counted, but it's a long time.
