Hypnosis, Hug Therapy and the Amish

Sounds like a self-help book doesn't it?

I have to renew my counselor license by the end of March so I am in a mad rush to get my 30 hours of CEUs (that I've had 2 years to complete...) - so today I attended a workshop on hypnosis -
(you are getting very, very sleepy...)
It was actually very interesting and I bet you didn't know that the average person goes into a trance-like, hypnotic state about 4 times a day naturally. Ladies - that would be the time to whisper to the husbands "you will do the dishes and rub my feet..." - it'll work, really!

So, while I was gone today and Justin was out all day too - my parents (God love 'em) came over to watch the kids and of course, Ella and Mason fought like cats and dogs. So, when they get really, really bad, Justin makes them do Hug Therapy - we set the timer for 2- 10 minutes (depending on how bad they've been and our mood at the time) and this is what it looks like:

It's working - can't you tell - I can feel the love!

Oh, and in case you've ever wondered what Si would look like if we were Amish - here you go - wonder no more...
