We’ve recently instituted something new around here. Â It’s the Comment Jar. Â It sits on the kitchen island, with paper and a pencil nearby.
Do you have a grievance you want discussed?
A suggestion on how we could do something better?
A compliment to share with everyone?
An idea for discussion?
Put it in the jar. Â After dinner prayers, we’ll jump into whatever topics those little slips of paper dictate.
Recent ones…
Dylan would like everyone to stop tickling him so much. Â Especially Ethan.
Lainey would like us to all go to the movies as a family.
An anonymous person complimented Payton on how kind he’d been that day.
A certain kid’s friend even put one in. Â It read “Pie is good. Â You should get some”. Â I’m thinking I should out-law friends adding to our comment jar.
Given Randy has been traveling for the last 7 out of 11 days, our jar is getting full. Â Thankfully, he’s on a plane right now, on his way home. Â And, he tells me he’ll stay home (mostly) for the next 2 weeks! Â This wife is happy ’bout that.
If you’d like to add something to our jar, electronically, just let me know. Â We’ll be sure to discuss it at the dinner table :)

Oh yeah….this we love!!! We got a big laugh over Dylan’s comment…no tickeling, especially Ethan! Did you get the hint, EJ??! I like Lainey’s suggestion…a family movie night…why not?? So glad to hear that Randy is headed home to stay for awhile!
Um…here’s my comment (electronically). We haven’t been to visit you guys in almost a month and a half. Discuss around the dinner table when would be a great time for us to come on a Saturday. We realize that Abigail Lindsey is turning 17 (wow!!) this Saturday, and we’d like to come soon after that to bring her card & gift.
My other comment is: You guys are the greatest, yes, every one of you! We love all of you guys soooo much!! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ABBEY!!!
