Successful Conference

I decided to try and get the kids more involved in conference this time around. We stuck up pictures of the First Presidency and the apostles, and then some pictures that represent things that are typically mentioned in talks such as temple, prayer, tithing, church, etc. If the kids recognize the speaker or hear one of the words they get a treat from the bowl. Kaitlyn surprisingly could name all of the apostles as well as recognize them on tv. I was pretty impressed. Needless to say, it went really well. They watched all four sessions with us, and what was even better was that Brian and I got to listen to all the sessions without the typical interruptions from the kids! The one drawback came when several people in a row talked about the temple and said temple every other word! The kids got a little sick from the candy and just started saving it instead of eating it! You live and learn I guess!
