At last... is 6 months to long?
I was soooo looking forward to a nice quiet weekend - maybe work on a little sewing project: Halloween costume - maybe sort some long neglected paperwork: bills, schoolwork, home listings, and life coaching notes, don't all mix together well; I had visions of making homemade rolls (start a new tradition - "conference rolls"), I thought of the beloved conference packet for entertaining the girls, a reward for their efforts to be attentive and yet knew that would only last so long... not all of that happened...
in fact I spontaneously changed the goals along the way... This was my Sat a.m. quick thinking "Conference Bingo" for Kaelee - she made it into a great game for her little petshop pals... she actually listened for every keyword to be said and got blackout on the last talk! We recycled for Sunday and it worked it's magic twice!
Kimber's Bingo card - (no picture) was more picture perfect, with my abstract sketches of the keywords for her to listen for... she used a jar of spare change, adding a coin every time she heard the keywords... she ended each talk with a pile of coins on a few keywords and we would say - What was that talk about? She could give the answer just by looking at which pile was the largest! By Sunday she was done with the jar -but busily copied my sketches over to make her own conference game! (love her artistic talents)
I just laughed and loved when Elder Bednar talked to parents about how to persevere in spite of interruptions like: he's touching me, he's looking at me, he's breathing my air...
I knew my luck wouldn't hold out... but success comes in the consistency... right?
And I can just be thankful that unlike my parents, It's not necessary to get up, dressed and to the stake center early enough to get a bench for my family. (although it might be nice to go by myself without distraction!)Instead of Conference Rolls.... We made "Conference Cookies " - thanks to Pillsbury dough boy! Daenon cooked - Breakfast, and Dinner - cookies for Lunch! :) I think that "daddy cooking" should be a conference tradition - it was so wonderful!He says: Let's not.
