I cannot believe I talked our guest into posting here today. Between back-to-back episodes of iCarly, lengthy phone conversations with her BFF, and obsessively cleaning her newly pierced ears, this girl's summer schedule is booked. Here are a few words (totally unedited) from my girl about cashing in our change jar.
Here's Amelia.

We saved money for Audry and we started saving in February. A couple of days ago we took the money to Ingles and we put the money in the money counter. We had a lot more money but sometimes my dad takes quarters and dollars out of the jar. This is why the money counter said we only had three quarters and zero dollars. I think my dad probably bought a chicken fried cesar salad from Zaxbys with the quarters and a smoothie from McDonald's with the dollars.
We got $11.38 and that is a lot because most of the change was pennies. We also just got a letter from Audry. Hope you guys like this writing. Love, Mia! That's my nickname.

Awesome! FYI: Our Dad does the SAME thing with our quarters and dollars but it's for a sausage biscuit at McD's. But even Dads need to dip into the family outreach stash sometimes because they're out working hard for their fams. I love that you stay committed to saving for others...your "almost spend the night parties" are the best. Keep up the great work!
love to you mia! awesome job with the coins, do you like to write audry?
Dear Mia, I think you should switch from a jar to a different container with a combination lock. Keep the combination top secret. Just kidding. What an awesome family you have! Love, Brandee
oh I DO love your writing Amelia! or should I say Mia?? and let me say, I can see a huge change on your spelling and writing abilities from when you first starting writing for your mom's blog! someone sure is a little smarty pants :)
and more than all that, I really do love your generous, giving, kind, and beautiful heart! seriously. i'm pretty sure you're my favorite 9 yr old ever! :)
Thanks for the comment love, girls.
You made a certain girls night.
Love, A
Oh, and Melody, I totally agree...dads do deserve a dip into the change jar!
Amelia (or should I say Mia),
First, I love the new nickname. It is perfect. I'll have to share that with Abigail who is preferring Abby these days :) Great job on raising money even though your dad was sneaking quarters here and there. You know, I remember McDonald's being a very regular part of your dad's week when we were all young. Sounds like it's still hard for him to stay away ;)
Keep writing and giving, Mia! I'm proud of you!
