Jeremy says the cutest things!

This morning while I was busy in the kitchen Jeremy, like usual, was playing with Zach.  All the sudden he says,

"Zach has a gift and he's using it...To Crawl fast!  That's his gift!"

I went to the store this evening and took Riley and Jeremy with me  I handed Jeremy a pair of snow boots to slip on.  Riley informs us that they are HIS and that I gave them to him for christmas.  I said that was true but that they didn't fit him anymore. Jeremy then tells Riley,

"Maybe I"ll get you some for your birthday.  Maybe I'll get some cheap ones."

I almost burst out laughing with the "cheap" comment.  I had to exercise some serious self restraint on that one.  I"m a bargain hunter.  To me cheap is only good when it's something quality at a cheap price.  In other words it's the bargain that I love!   I"m a firm believer in "you get what you pay for."  So I look for quality things at a discount.  I scour the clearance racks.  For some things, I go to craigslist.  I won't get it unless it's a bargain.  Last winter Riley was really needing some pants.  All of his jeans had big holes.  I first tried to fix them.  I spent $25 on patches so I could fix all the torn jeans and reinforce the ones that were on there way to a hole.  After about three washes they all fell off and were toast.  UUUUUUGH!  I absolutely hate that!  I then went to the goodwill and a consignment store.  Now I've always been the bargain hunter and my bargains have never been found in either of these places.  I decided to give it another go.  I was so disapointed!  I am looking and looking through rack after rack of stinky old clothes only to find jeans with half worn knees for $8.  Seriously!!!  For $2 more I could buy brand new ones, NOT on a clearance rack, and have twice the wear.  So I left and I told Lane to remind me not to go back.  Instead I found name brand pants for both boys, brand new might I add, for $4.  Yes that's right folks, $4.  Now I"m going to get off my soap box now.  Sorry for the tangent.  I didn't think I'd be going there.  This post was suppose to be about Jeremy.  I get started on the cheap and bargain thing and well....there you have it!
