Conference weekend

I love Conference weekend. It is so relaxing and enjoyable. We were enriched with some wonderful talks and had family time. The girls even look forward to Conference weekend. Allison's sunbeam teacher gave us Conference Bingo serveral years ago and they love it. We always use peanut M&M's as the marker. It is fun to watch them because there are some key words that they have to listen for so that means they have to listen. Ashley had a hard time because I think she still might be a little young to get the whole concept. She never stopped talking long enough to hear anything. At one point she got put in timeout away from her bingo board and M&M's. Hopefully in 6 months she will be up for it again. Inspight of the difficulties with Ashley the girls did end up having fun while they listened. There was few times that they anxiously awaiting one word so they could get their bingo.
It really is alot of fun watching them focus realy hard so they can get their bingo. It was also funny because they split the M&M's up by color. Allison picked orange and blue for BSU Broncos. Ashley picked red and green for Christmas and Madison picked yellow and brown for U of I Vandels. She know that they are yellow and black but that was the closest to it. It really was a great weekend. The messages were wonderful and we feel so enriched and ready to take on what the world has for us.

We also tried something new and had finger foods to snack on during the last session. I let the girls pick what they wanted. It was a bunch of junk food but I figure it is only one day. They loved eating it all.

Allison also had to get some homework in because she has a big project due on Tuesday. She got it all finished and it turned out really cute. She had to make a business for the 3rd grade city. She chose a pet shop. It is drying tonight so I didn't get any finished pictures but will tomorrow. She is very proud of it and how hard she worked on it.
