General Conference

I love conference and love to make it special with food and activities. Its so nice to be home, relaxed and listening.

We like to set up a small tent like King benjamin, faced their tents to him and lots of blankets for a fort. Lots of random coloring pages, cross word puzzles, a possible quilt to tie, 

printables for small kids,  #1 teenager notebook, #2 teenager notebook. 

More challenging wordsearches   

Learn to paint Watercolor beaches/ocean

One time the girls tallied up specific words (Jesus, testimony, church, scriptures, etc...) that were spoken, that really got them listening to the words the speakers were saying, I think we even gave them a penny for each time they recorded it.  They were really motivated.

A week before - buy the groceries for everything

                        - make the chex mix, fruit and veggie dip the week before conference.

Thursday or friday  - assemble the breakfast french toast and let sit in fridge 

                                - cut fruit and veggies
