Earlier this month was our church's General Conference. This semi-annual Conference is broadcast worldwide and consists of four two hour blocks broken up between Saturday and Sunday. I always enjoy the talks very much and come away with a desire to be a better person.
When I was younger we used to watch all eight hours at the church building which had a satellite, but we can now watch it on television or the internet. This makes it much easier with the kids. I found a great packet for Lizard online to help her focus and keep busy and also found a fun idea for Little Bird.
I took plastic bags and taped photos of the twelve apostles (http://www.lds.org/church/leaders/quorum-of-the-twelve-apostles?lang=eng) and the First Presidency (http://www.lds.org/church/leaders/first-presidency?lang=eng) and put snacks and activities in the bags. When one of them spoke, we showed Little Bird the bag and explained that the person on the bag is the one who is talking and we would tell her his name. She liked the activities (and the snacks) and hopefully it will help her be excited for next conference in October. I saved the bags to reuse for next time.
