Last week at church Eli and Carli got to make General Conference packets (Genius!). The packets included coloring pages, a bingo game and other activities to keep them occupied during conference. All week long Carli was asking, "Mom, is it conference day yet?"
They were most excited to play "Conference Bingo" and we bought some gummi bears at the store to use for markers on the game board. As conference started, Eli asked, "Mom, has the game started?" I told him, yes, the game started as soon as conference started, so they got to mark off the word prayer because the open hymn was "Secret Prayer". They were both so excited to get to put a gummi bear on the board.
Then the choir started the hymn and Eli turns to me, very bothered and says, "Mom! What are they doing singing a song in the middle of the game?"
heehee!
Our Family
Luella--I'm mom to 3 awesome kids and wife to one great husband. I enjoy reading, working out, cooking, and all things French. This blog is our way of sharing a little bit of our family with the world. Thanks for checking us out!
Ben is the head of our house and a great dad. He's also a Staff Sergeant in the USAF and loves his job. He likes to read, play with the kids, and spend time with me! He's very thoughtful (does the dishes almost every night!) and a great husband.
Elijah (6) We love Eli! He is such a good big brother. He loves to watch Ben10, play computer games, jump on the trampoline with Dad and make chocolate chip cookies. He's very smart and imaginative. We love having him around!
Carli (4) is our little princess. She loves to color and her favorite color is pink. She loves to organize things, especially small items. She's very clever (sometimes sneaky!) and her smile makes all of us happy. We love our Carli Pants!
Sammy (15 mos) is our baby. He's very happy and agreeable, we love having him around!

Ha! Yes, conference packets are the best. Our ward sends them home with little cookie or candy marker, but my kids eat them the day they get them so we have to go to the store anyway...If I had your email address in my address book you would have gotten a bonus conference packet. I get one from a friend every 6 months via email and forward them on. We use one for Saturday and one for Sunday, I would love to send you one in the fall, but I would need your email. (wink, wink)
LOL, that is hilarious! My kids weren't as lucky as yours. They just colored their bingo boards.
Hahaha!! That's hilarious! :) Yeah, Ashelyn got to "X" everything off. I think we'd have a war over gummy bears... :)
That is so funny! I'm glad your kids were into the conference packets, mine weren't too thrilled. I should have printed them out way ahead of time to get them excited about it, instead I thought of it mid-day on Sunday since I was desperate for something to keep them occupied. It didn't work. I struggle with watching conference, my kids don't make it easy. Good think I LOVE reading the talks in the Ensign because I sure don't get much out of the live version!
HA HA HA!!! so funny!
