They were crushed!

Bradley and Britani have been saving cans for MONTHS!!! They have been crushing cans for weeks and even in the low temps they have been still crushing a few cans a day!! Look how excited they look know they were fixing to make some money!!

And they had AL OT of cans!!!
It almost filled up the wagon that I got from my dad!

And so they took them to the scrap-yard!! And well when they called and said they were on their way home...I asked (excited) "So how much did you make?" . Knowing they had A LOT of cans I thought they would say about $50.00.....But Britani's response was "A crappy $29.00!" I felt bad for them!! They were CRUSHED!!!! So not only were the cans but so were my twins!!! But I told them that it was more than they had when they got up this morning!! So needless to say we are NOT saving cans anymore!!

You all have a great day!!

~Till Tomorrow~

  2. Well, they recycled them anyway:) Wish they had gotten more for their hard work. I save newspapers and take them to the recycle bin. It is the biggest pain in the booty but I do it anyway. I hope they stopped and spent every penny:) Love you, Sis.

  4. Yeah, that happened to us one time too. Jeff still crushes them. I'm not a very responsible environmental person. I sneak them in the trash when he's not looking.
    Hee hee.

  5. Aw, that sucks when they think they're getting a lot. You should still save them anyway. We save them, and once we have a bunch saved up, we take them in and use the money to pay for lunch. We usually make $20 to $30. Hey, it's free money. Why NOT do it??
