General Conference

Daniel was gone most of the weekend (all sessions, except for the first one Saturday morning) because he is a translator at the Conference Center. He speaks Marshallese. Anyways, so I tried to watch all 4 sessions and keep the kids entertained. Conference weekend is always a hard one for me. Anyways, Parker really liked to listen to the choir sing. He would stop whatever he was doing to watch and listen. He loves music and likes to sing along.

Aunt Tyne was home for the second session on Saturday, but she had gone to work that morning at like 4am (she is a baker) so she was tired and fell asleep. The kids ate popcorn and fruit snacks on the floor.
After bath time, (Daniel was still gone) we got ready for bed and Staucie laid down on the floor and Parker copied her. Staucie likes to lay out blankets on the floor.
On Sunday, after their naps and during the 4th session, they were tired, I guess because they were just laying on the floor.
But then I got out the Quiet book and the other books we save for church. They ate Mini Nilla Waffers and played for some of the 4th session. We were glad when Daniel got home that night for dinner. We ate and went outside to get some fresh air. It rained all day on Saturday so we never went out. The kids were happy to get out of the house.

I have so many comments. I love all these pictures of the kids. It looks like everyday is a party at your house. What a fun house with popcorn and books and toys. Staucie's hair is so cute. Did you trim it? You need to submit that picture of Parker watching conference to the Ensign. That is adorable. I never thought about how hard conference weekends are for you with Daniel gone. Check out Larry's blog and you can hear Daniel translating. You need to click on the black picture. (I don't know why Larry has it black, but I guess we're just lucky he can figure out what he does.)

Cute kids. Did Staucie get a hair cut?

Yes, I cute Staucie's hair. Since it is so thin, I cut it to make it look fuller. Now if only it would grow out in the front...
