Before I had kids, I always pictured myself watching the Sunday Sessions of General Conference at church. My children wearing their Sunday best quietly coloring or taking notes of Conference. Ha! The reality is I am so glad to stay home and watch Conference from my couch. I would no sooner dream of watching General Conference at church with my children than I would volunteer for a tooth extraction.
Everyone here wears their comfy clothes and they also drag their pillows to the family room making little nests for themselves. They play Conference bingo so they can get candy to eat. There are the various squabbles and disagreements that you can expect when you spend fours hours a day cooped up together in a small room. Hopefully the candy and snacks will help them have fond memories of the time we spend together sitting at the prophets feet hearing words of truth and encouragement. Post Conference I feel a bit like after you eat at a really tasty all you can eat buffet-so good but so full. I need time to disgest Conference. It was really good though and I am looking forward to reading the talks.
