That Was Easy!



So I wanted to teach the kids that when you do a job quickly and without contention it is ALOT easier! So, I went to Staples and bought an Easy Button. It hangs on the fridge and death to any one who plays with it. BUT...if you get your job done quickly, or before a timer goes off, or if you're caught doing a job without being asked then push away! I have found that I enjoy pushing it just as much as the kids do, and it does remind me that most jobs really are easy. While it's not a perfect system, it is a fun one! Here's to easy :)

How fun! So what does your easy button do when you push it? :)

That's an original idea. I might have to try it. I'm all for anything that helps reduce contention.

Great idea! It's officially in my bag of ideas stolen from original people.

You're funny. Haven't you moved yet? School starts in a week you know.

Here's a late reply to the ratliff clan...the button says, are you ready for this??? "That was easy!" It's so funny but it gives me such satisfaction!

Not a bad idea. I may have to go get one too!
