Thanks to wonderful Activity Days leaders, Annabelle and Grace were motivated to write a little bit about each apostle's talk. (If they turn in their conference packet they will get a prize.) The girls had their pencils poised, listening intently. At least for the first 2 minutes of each talk.
Jonah drew pictures of each speaker. He remembers lots of stories so he must have been listening pretty well.
We attended each morning session at the church building. I loved it. I should do this more often.
This morning before church we started a project using shrinky dink plastic paper. We traced the CTR logo onto shrinky dink paper, colored it in, cut it out, and baked it in the oven for a few minutes. It shrinks in the oven, thickens and hardens as well. So neat! The kids were impressed! We had punched holes in them to make charms for bracelets.
During the afternoon session today the kids made elastic band bracelets with their charms. Turned out cute! Great Sunday project.
Tonight we tried to include Dad (in Chicago this weekend) in our FHE. We called him to see if he could do a talent over the phone. He demonstrated his talent in picking his nose. Thanks, Ezra. We love you anyway!
The FHE lesson was spin the bottle (or bowling pin). Whoever it points has to tell something they remember from General Conference. When the bottle (or bowling pin) pointed to the pillow, Jonah whispered to the pillow what to say, and spoke for the pillow as well. Thanks, Jonah. You always keep us laughing.
