Find a Penny Pick It Up

Cameron has been collecting change in his piggy bank, hoping to purchase a new $10 Star Wars lego set. (His current obsession with Star Wars and all things having to do with outer space is a whole other topic . . . ) On Monday, we counted up his change, and sure enough, he had what he needed. Cameron sorted the money into piles by type of coin, which we then put into ziplock bags labeled with the amount in each bag. Unfortunately, it was President's Day and the bank was closed, so we were not able to switch out the change. The cashier at Target was perfectly accommodating, though, even through the counting out of 200 pennies! (I somehow think that had it not been an excited little boy handing over his change to buy a new Lego set, he might not have seen much humor in the situation! And luckily, there was nobody behind us in line!)
