Conference Helps!

Conference was a huge hit this time! With some extra preparations from mom, the kids were well behaved and for the most part right into it! I tried a new idea taken from another friends blog (thanks Amy!) and did the Apostle candy bars. Mini candy bars with the 15 Apostles pictures as the labels. It sure kept the kids interested in who would be speaking next. I had to laugh though when Porter quickly caught on and then started asking "Mom, can we eat this guy now?".

Surprisingly this next item was the HUGE hit....

Yes, that's homemade play-dough! It was the perfect fit for all four of my kids. Even the big boys created the entire Saturday afternoon session.

And let's not forget Chad's new help (so as not to dose off)...

That's right! A 1000 piece puzzle. He worked on it throughout the entire weekend! It was perfect for him. I kept myself alert and attentive by taking notes. It's been so fun to read back through them this week as I prepared for a talk. Again, so blessed to have taken the opportunity to soak it all up! I love Conference Weekend!!!
