Birthday Money

We partied hard...the birthday man child requested chocolate fleck pancakes for breakfast, an escape from schoolhouse for a quick tiffin at McDonald's, in addition to dinner at our favorite Mexican nutrient restaurant.  We've every bit good been at church building every black this calendar week for our exceptional Winter Bible Study, in addition to thence nosotros raced abode afterwards dinner to opened upward presents earlier heading to church. 

We had a root this year...Caleb was requesting $$ to a greater extent than than toys.  He's saving upward for some techy gadget that every xi year-old must have.  I remembered Pam's suggestions for clever ways to hand money and decided to endeavour this one.

I went to the bank, traded some larger bills for ones, 

and lightly taped them together cease to end. 

Then, I rolled them all upward in addition to placed them inwards a tissue box that I had opened on the cease in addition to removed all the tissues from.  (I genuinely every bit good stuffed a plastic grocery purse on each side of the scroll of coin in addition to thence it wouldn't rattle around inwards there.) 

I wrapped the box amongst newspaper in addition to cutting a skid inwards the tumble out to feed the bills through.  I wrapped this box inwards a larger box to give-up the ghost along it concealed until opening.

  

Caleb was thrilled!  

The best business office was stringing it across the flooring in addition to counting!  

(It's non that much, but a lot of $1s cease to cease expect impressive!)

Due to our busy solar daytime in addition to political party decorations strewn about, I didn't quite complete upward my projection I've been working on plenty for it to live photo-ready.  I'll demo you lot on Monday.
