General Conference Weekend!

General Conference Weekends are some of my favorite weekends of the year.  This April's General Conference did not disappoint!  The weather was lousy, so we stayed indoors most of the time.  We had fun together, and we loved listening to General Conference together. 

I'm thankful for the technology that allows me to listen to General Conference messages every morning as I get ready for the day.  I missed bits and pieces of many of the talks while I was helping the kiddos, and I didn't miss a beat.  By Monday morning, the talks were up on the internet already!

We had a glow-stick dance party in the dark. 

  

The flash lit up the whole room!

Watching General Conferende!

I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but the heater vent is putting off just enough heat and air to make Peter's balloon float!

Hungry, Hungry Hippos with Grandad.

David and I played this game.  I forgot what it is called.  David never for a minute questioned any of my "less-conventional" answers.  That's what happens when you say those answers with convicion!

I always get the kids new color books for General Conference--they pick the theme of the color book.

Grandad used to always sharpen knives during General Conference, but he stopped when we had toddler grandkids that could accidentally pull a knife off the table.  This is the first year in a while that he got the knives back out.

Working on a stupid puzzle.  (This was the stupid puzzle; the other was a good one.)

We always have Pub Mix during General Conference.

Poor little sick guy.

In the ER with the fancy barf bag.

During the night from Saturday to Sunday, Peter started throwing up.  He kept it up for hours.  Brian and Chelsea finally took him to the emergency room, and they gave him something that stopped the vomiting for awhile.  After they got back home, he started throwing up again, so they packed up and headed home during the second session of Conference on Sunday.  They listened to that session in the car.
