Just Call Me Money Bags


Yesterday I decided to finally gather up all my spare change and cash it in. We had a huge mug full, and 2 separate drawers full, which all had been accumulating for quite some time. It filled up the 2 bags as you can see.....it weighed in at 14 pounds.....and the grand total........


$112


And that is after the coin machine took out 8%! Spare change is the best thing in the world! So we treated ourselves with our new found fortune and we went to the AZ State Fair, which was SOOO fun. We went with Todd's little brother Ashton and 2 of his friends. Todd and Ashton didn't go on any "big kid" rides, but I still went on a lot, and I'm not going to lie, I had a HUGE headache when I got home! But it was still worth it!

I love collecting spare change. We always cash ours in at the end of the year for an added Christmas bonus! You look cute Mrs. Money Bags. And Bizerkles pony looks like it's getting fuller!!! Cute, Cute!

Way to go Money Bags! Can you do me a huge favor and post a pic of your family room. I have black & white floral couches and have no idea how to decorate or what colors to bring in. Can I just copy what you have done?? Please!

Jill-that is halarious! I didn't know you went to the state fair. The fact you had a headache afterwards is a sign of old age...
Berkeley looks so freakin cute in this picture. I love it.
