The little sequin box

This is hard to see, but it is a little sequin box that my oldest son made when he was in the 4Th grade. Well I have been in one of my cleaning moods and last night, this was in a drawer I was cleaning out. Now, I have an abundance of things put away that my precious angels have made over the years so I figured this one object did not necessarily need to be saved from now until eternity so I chunked it.

Today is trash day so as the boys were taking the dumpster to the end of the road, it tipped over and a few things fell out onto the ground, this little sequin box being one of them. My eldest son (now 14) was crushed and held it in his lap all the way to school before he would surrender it to me. This little sequin box is now proudly displayed on my desk at work, where I am sure it will be from now until my retirement.
