Conference Weekend

Just finished watching General Conference. I can't say we did a good job of prepping the kids for the weekend, or for planning activities for them to do during it. But we gleaned more out of it than I thought we would. Here is what Adam gleaned:

During the opening prayer, Adam looked at the man praying with his hands outstretched across the pulpit and said, "He not fold his arms!"
and during one talk about Adam and Eve, he looked up and exclaimed, "I'm Adam!"

Rachel was not left out. When I firmly told her to stop screeching so I could watched conference she asserted, "It's not conference...it's the prophet!"

I gleaned that I need to be better at incorporating the gospel into my life and teaching my family. Hence, I finally subscribed to the Friend and I am starting my profile on mormon.org


Other Conversations:
You can tell how often I get ready for the day because when I came out of the room wearing my clothes, Rachel said "where are your shoes?" and Adam asked, "Where are we going?"

Adam has been getting us all mixed up. He has called me Rachey and Rachey and Gma he calls "mommy". I wish I could explain the look of confusion on his face when he realizes his mistake and tries to correct himself.

We call him "Wubby" quite a bit and the other night he prayed for "Rachel, and Mommy, and Wubby and Adam and Daddy"

We were playing on the floor the other day and Rachel lifted up my shirt and pointed to my stretch marks and asked, "You have a scratch, Mama?"  I said yes, and then decided to show her my C Section scar. I don't think she was ready for that.

How did my babies become people?!

At least they listened. As I changed, my boys asked me if we were going to church. I said, no, we are going to watch conference on the computer. There was some excitement. I am not sure if it was because they didn't have to go to church to watch conference or that we were just staying home.

Ha! Your commentary is hilarious. I must say, I'm a little worried about Adam though: early memory loss, identity confusion . . . Miss those kids.

Royce just said I shouldn't have posted that about Adam because I'm going to make you unnecessarily paranoid. I was just being funny, but my apologies if worry results.

It's fun (and a little sad) when they become people! It's interesting to see how their little minds work!
