Ethan came home from church last Sunday and asked me he could take notes for conference this year. That made me laugh, since I encourage note taking every conference I'm not sure why he felt he needed to ask. He was extra excited about it this time because the primary president was offering a treat. The kids did great for the most part. Saturday was smooth with everyone focused. By Sunday afternoon the boys were struggling with all the sitting time and were getting a bit more wiggly, but with the changes being announced I wanted to pay attention to the talks and wasn't taking time to re-direct them which would have helped. It's always a favorite weekend for the family though and we get excited to sit and listed to the words of the prophets.
I had printed out some of this conference packet for Preston, but the big kids saw it and wanted one too.
Preston took notes on a couple talks, but mostly worked on coloring and dot to dots.
Ethan kept getting too caught up in how to spell their names and asking what they were talking about, but once he would focus and listen he would figure it out and enjoyed it.
Brielle has been very excited about her gel pens and markers that she got for Christmas and loved coloring each of the speakers.
I didn't do our conference cash or store this time. Since it was Easter weekend we had so many new treats and little toys from egg hunts I didn't think we could handle more. The kids missed it, so it will probably come back next time.
