Conference Day

General Conference today. The girls each got a paper with pictures of: the Prophet, A Temple, A heart, Jesus, a tithing slip, a Baptismal Font and the scriptures. They colored each picture one color and then got candy to match their pictures...Alona colored Jesus blue so when she heard them say something about Jesus she was able to eat a blue skittle, so on and so forth. Abbi though was like ewww candy! And she ate all of her candy before the first hymn had been finished. This caused much contention. Abbi ran over a few times and grabbed handfuls of Alona's candy and shoved it into her mouth because Abbi didn't have any candy left. Alona was real good, real cute, the speaker would end their talk and they would say "in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." Oop I get to eat one, cause they said Jesus!"

After the first session of conference I was attending to Abbi. I could hear Kacen was in the kitchen, and I went in to peak. This is what I had found, he had pulled Alona's placemat off of the table and it landed quite nicely on the chair. He decided that he was hungry and was going to eat her lunch that she had left. The damage was already done, he was enjoying himself and seemed happy that he had found his own food and was feeding himself. So I left him to his business and finished helping Abbi. Afterwards I went back and cleaned it all up. It was a gentle reminder of,
"Mom, you should mop again today!"
