Emma gave a great FHE lesson the Monday before conference about the parable of the watchman on the tower. She taught us about how the prophets and apostles are watchmen for us and can warn and teach us about things that we need to know about in our day. The kids had fun building towers out of marshmallows and toothpicks.
We had a great conference weekend and tried some new ways to get the kids actively listening to conference although I didn't get pictures of any of them. In addition to our normal conference packets we had a "conference wall" and apostle cards. We also laminated a picture from the last conference Ensign of general authorities and took turns finding the speakers and putting a star on their picture. Some things worked better than others--I am learning that it is a lot of work to try and get the kids to listen to conference. It is always a wonderful weekend though and we get what we can from it, then go back and read what we missed in the Ensign!
