Conference weekend (better late than never)

I know, I know. Conference weekend was like a month ago. I know, I know, I haven't been the best at blogging lately. I know, I know, I tend to play catch up and post 10 entries in 1 day. Whatever!
The kids have been pretty much free to play and do whatever on conference weekend. Until now!!! I decided that it was time they started paying attention to the words of the prophets. But I couldn't expect them to listen to 8 hours, 2 hours at a time. So I made goodie bags filled with surprising, fun, and new activities. Did it work? Kinda. The first hour was the best because the kids actually listened. The following 5 hours were decent because they were entertained with the activities. The last 2 hours, they were over it. We'll work on it. One day I'm going to explain to them how lucky they are to watch conference at home, and one day they'll understand and appreciate it. When I was a kid, I had to go to the stake center to watch conference. Someone was in a different room, translating the talks, live. If I ever go back to Belgium during conference weekend, I bet they'd put ME in that room. Cool, huh?
