Bargain Hunting at it's finest.

During the course of this morning's excursion, we had a school meeting
for Allie and then had to register Micah for kindergarten, we passed a
flea market and I saw a 4 drawer dresser. Me and Jeff commented that
we needed to stop by on the way home. We had to do a few other things
as well.

So on our way home we forgot to stop. It's one of those things we had
been keeping in the back of our minds that if we saw a dresser that
was cheap that would work for Benji we would get it but we haven't
been searching high and low kinda deal. His clothes were in the closet
and sharing one of his brother's dressers. Not a have to rush.

Once we got home we realized that we needed to get gas for the tiller
and the mower, so we went back out and the flea market was on the way
to the gas station. So we pulled in. The 4 drawer dresser I saw was
gone. We were a little disappointed but it was okay, then our eyes
were caught by what looked like a wooden box... it was behind a big
wooden chair and boxes and junk was all over it. Jeff realized it was
a juvenile dresser with 6 drawers made of wood not cardboard. He asked
home much and the guy said it was sold.. So we said okay and went to
leave. He ran back over to us and said he would sell it to us for $10.

So, we loaded it in and brought it home. Need to clean it up real good
and all, but it's cute. I plan on re-doing the knobs with some cheap
little Hotwheels cars. The dresser is after all for Benji and he loves
cars. I will share pictures once we do that. It won't be until this
summer though when we refinish all the kids' dressers.

As you can see in the picture, Benji is proud of his soon to be dresser.
