Candied Conference

Pinterest has sort of changed my life. I discovered it about two months ago and am finding all sorts of fun ideas for the kids and delicious recipes to try for dinner. One such idea was to get candy for General Conference and label each bowl with a religious word like "church, Jesus, Joseph Smith, or Temple." If the speaker says one of the words, we get to eat a candy. We had high hopes that this "game" would keep the kids quiet and allow us all to learn more from the speakers this time around (and help Mom and Dad stay awake too).
Jack and Sadie couldn't believe their good fortune. When else have they ever been presented with such a platter? Mom and Dad must be smoking something. We weren't expecting the speakers to say "Jesus, family, and faith" quite so many times.
Needless to say, Sadie and Jack LOVED general conference this year.
Jack loved it so much that at the end of the day he puked it all up. I think next time we will just have four words and we'll pick harder ones like "Wilford Woodruff" or "Apostasy."
You live, you learn.
