one of the best days of the year. :) this was supposed to be a picture of lexi dutifully taking notes, (to get out of seminary, and hopefully to learn also...) but i think our snack table is more in focus. it's become a tradition to gorge ourselves on sweets as we play conference bingo, except that the big kids don't really play anymore. :( they just eat.
no smiles for mama!
between sessions lexi drowned some of her broken heart sorrows with a little john legend and some swaying to the music. chris got a full on video, (which he promptly posted) whilst i just settled for a simple pic. i'm understanding that way.
first session of conference is always awesome because it's naptime so we get to listen in peace. i took 4 pages of notes during the first session. and 1 for the second. frankie napped in my room (she and addie are not allowed to rest together) and had spent some time in my bathroom doing her hair. :)
before and between sessions alexis and christian had spent some time outside trying to break into gideon. alexis had locked the keys in the night before and the spare is mysteriously missing. chris tried all morning and then asa came over that afternoon to lend a helping hand.
after about 30 minutes, voila! hooray!
"yay! say cheese, guys! guys, look over here!"
at least christian cooperated.
i hear there are some interior scratches, but i'm not gonna worry about it, they're in, new keys will be made, all will be well.
c'est la vie!
lana saved the day for miss laney-lanes. we ran out of milk and she was not happy about it. quick shout out to my lg lad-ay's and voila! we have milk! laney, and frankie, for that matter, were thrilled!
the girls joined us for the afternoon session. they enjoyed putting all the jelly beans on their bingo boards. and eating. they really enjoyed the eating.
addie went the all purple route.
franks the all blue.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
i got this kitetic sand at michaels and it is so cool. very therapeutic and calming. i <3 br="" sand.="">
aaaaand, not conference related, little miss addie got on blue two days in a row! she had told me several times throughout the year that so-and-so had gotten on blue (red = bad, yellow = warning, green = good, blue = excellent, and orange and purple are also bad) but she never had, and she reeeeally wanted to be. on friday she came home super happy that she had gotten on blue for the field trip day and for friday. and apparently she was so helpful that miss h said she might be on blue all week. addie said that several times, so i know she hopes it's really going to happen. go addie, go! her chart so far is a little rainbow'ish. her yellow was for going under the lunch table in the cafeteria. ah, well.
it was a really good day, a really good weekend. i love conference. we really loved president uchtdorf (lex especially!), bednar, and president monson's talks. the afternoon session was of course hit and miss for what i heard, but it was also wonderful. i can't wait to listen and read all of the talks again.
