Saturday April 5

It was the Saturday session of the LDS General Conference today.

It was a wonderful afternoon.

The kids had a lot of fun coloring and listening.

I tried a little treat idea.

Each jar had a different candy, and a different word.

If they heard that word, they got to get candy from that jar.

Well, we had to change our game up a bit.

We were up and down too many times during the talks, it was hard to listen....

So instead I gave them some from each jar before each talk, so they could munch on it for during the talk.

There were some great talks.

I really love to listen to General Conference.

I love the feeling I feel, I love the happiness.

I love the messages and the encouragement.

I love the answers I get to prayers in my heart.

I am thankful for the time I got to spend with my kids watching and listening.

I wish Dad wasn't on shift.....

Porter spent most of the time coloring and building with Legos.

I bought some markers for the kids to use.

I do not like markers....so I never buy them.

And I throw them away when they bring them from school.

Not sure why I don't like them.....but I don't.

But it sure was exciting for them to have markers to color with :)

Oh, and some of them were scented.....so we had colored noses (mostly Elsie) for the rest of the day.

And I love the pictures Porter created today.

My favorite was his picture Christ.

He also made a picture of our house on fire....with Dad rescuing us.

Super cute, but I don't want our house to go on fire........

Anyway.

After the last session, we had dinner then we went for a walk on the canal road.

It ended up being over a mile and a half walk for the kiddos.

It was a fun time, but we did miss Dad :(
