So, those who laugh have their brain pathways lit up and ready to go. If your brain is lit up and glowing, then you are primed for some creative thought.</p>
<p>My point? To help be more creative during the day you need to laugh often. To help you laugh more I am sharing a video on how to make a super-duper noise-making popper from a sheet of paper. If you are good at sneaking up behind your buddies at work then  you can get a great laugh unloading this popper behind them.  Watching them jump straight up and begin to curse you will be good for at least 5 minutes of laughter. After that, you will be ready for some quality creative thinking.</p>

After collecting Alex, Caleb and Noah to the sofa, goofing in front of the laptop commenced.  For about 10 minutes we snapped image after image with PhotoBooth on my macbook.  Who knew that we could bring back the old time fun of carnival mirrors to our living room with the click of a button.</p>
<p>Laughing out loud together is some of the best fun we have had as a family in weeks.  Afterwards, at the dinner table had a different feel than usual. Everyone was relaxed and laid back now that that the medicine of laughter had coursed through our bodies.</p>
<p>I will have to remember to do this more often!</p>
<p>(I&#8217;m guessing those folks who have never met our family are thinking&#8230;&#8221;I hope they really are not that ugly.&#8221;)</p>
