Conference weekend....were you listening??

So....this year for our conference listening tactics, thanks to the idea of a fabulous friend.......we invested in some sticky note pads, and a picture of the Prophet and apostles - which was taped onto the family room wall. As they spoke in conference, the kids (who mostly are 'too old' for bingo charts, word searches, and all the other creative things you can print out) - were supposed to listen, jot down something that was said and then post it on the wall under their picture.
Just in case some of you missed it, OR just need a little uplift-ment, Here - just for you - are some excerpts from the first session.....





(he talked about hell)




(never-ending life with family)

Do you feel enlightened already?


Apparently my instructions were not so clear.
OR maybe 8 year is trying to TELL me something.....
about the never-ending life with our family, and about hell.


I had better straighten up apparently :)


By the end of the last session we had a few more 'happy' notes:
"Henry B. Love is special"
"Russell Nelson: Heven is loving!"

And this one was one of my favorites - I think because I absolutely loved the talk too:


Conference is truly one of my MOST favorite things EVER. Loved every minute of it!
