So as I’m sure I’ll share with you later- Jon and I tried for years to have kids….

When you want kids so badly, all you do is talk about these future babies.  I think we dealt with every possible scenario and what we would do about it, in these conversations.  How we would discipline was a big one.  We dreamed up every naughty thing a kid could do and talked about what we would do in that situation!!  Sounds crazy, I know, but it has come in handy now that we actually have kids!  So as a joke, during one of these conversations I mentioned that anytime one of the ‘kids’ was angry, I would send him to the ‘anger easel’.  We cracked up about how this kid would take out his frustrations with an amazingly artistic painting, flailing his brushes about in dramatic movements while yelling and crying.  We would then frame and hang these masterpieces on the ‘Wall of Anger”!!  We have joked about implementing the Anger Easel since they were babies!

So ladies and gents, I am proud to introduce you to (the newly built by yours truly) Anger Easel!!!

“Sorry kid, I don’t want to hear it!  Take it to the Easel!!”
