$1.40 (Recycling bottles)

Today no change was found but Karen and I did our part by recycling bottles found in my office recycling bin and will place the money in today's total! We received a total of $1.40 in the form of a dollar bill, a quarter, and three nickels. One one hand, we helped clean up the landfills by turning in all these water bottles and on the other, we made our pot just a lil bit bigger :) It's a win/win!

Total today: $1.40
Total thus far: $54.74

$0.12

Today we found a total of 12 cents in the form of a dime and two pennies. Penny One was found while walking to the gym ; penny two was found right by the leg press machine (where I pressed a personal record!!). The dime was found right by the decline that leads to my favorite jogging path.

Total today: $0.12
Total so far: $53.34

$0.28

Today we found a total of 27 cents in the form of a grimy quarter and two pennies. We are also adding the penny found on Monday night that was left in the change purse for accountability at a later date. The quarter was found at a pretty busy intersection here in Brooklyn - the tails side of the coin looks rather worn but still recognizable against the backdrop :) . Penny number one was spotted right outside my favorite eatery- the Oasis off 4th ave and number two waited for us in front of the doctors' office. My youngest daughter is quite under the weather so mommy's been running around getting all the necessities to help her along. Poor baby even got sick this morning :(. A mother's work is never done - now off to cook dinner and watch a few Disney movies!

Total today: $0.28
Total thus far: $53.22

Here's the proud coworker Trevor holding up the mended twenty!

Here is the twenty my coworker found ripped to shreds over the weekend. Great job taping it up!

Thanks for blocking off parking! Found this coin on the way to the gym!!

here's a snapshot of my daughters getting interviewed by interviewer/ actor, dancer of So you think you can dance! Fame Cameron Mathison

$0.04 (updated)

Today we found a total of four pennies - three pennies found in the company of the Good Morning America crew- what wonderful people! My children are fond of our interviewer Mr. Cameron Mathison!

My daughter Brianna let him beat her to one of the pennies in the parking lot. We taught him a thing or two about change hunting- like rules #1 and 2- never hunt without sunglasses and anti bacterial gel!

Our changepot segment will air this Thursday. If they post an internet link i'll cite it in the right hand column. The temperature is far too hot out to continue our coin search- my poor Karen is feeling under the weather.

Total today: $0.04
Total thus far: $52.94

Our newest hunter gatherer :)

As I become reacquainted with my change blog and posting allowances, I've uploaded a test picture of our newest family member - Lulu! She's a happy go lucky wire haired dachshund with a little bit of gait and a whole lot of heart. She'll be leading our change hunts and after dinner walks. Toodles! :)
