General Conference

I have to admit, I haven't always been an avid LIVE conference watcher. I used to consider it my weekend off, a break from callings and figured I'd watch the talks when I got around to it or read the talks in the Ensign. The last few sessions I've really looked forward to watching it when it's being broadcast.

I like to make it a little celebration. We have yummy food set out all day. We have an Italian Soda bar for a special treat. I always buy a new puzzle to work on while we listen and watch. We also get the Legos out and the kids can create if they stay quiet. I assumed the kids would take off and play all day today because we didn't require them to listen to the Saturday sessions. To my surprise, they spent almost the entire four hours watching conference with Jeff and I. There were so many awesome talks. I was so glad that they chose to listen. I think so much of my children's behavior depends on my attitude.
