What a nice weekend. Conference was nice and so relaxing. Mike and I took turns sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday, it was bliss. The talks were all great, of course, but I particularly enjoyed Elder Holland's talk about the Atonement on Sunday morning. It was one of the few times that Kennedy wasn't asking me to play with her and Sophie was asleep so I actually got to listen. It set a very nice tone for this week as we prepare for Easter Weekend. During conference Kennedy kept comparing the picture we have of the Prophet in our house with the prophet as he spoke on tv. She said "that is not the Prophet mom, he has lost all his hair like Uncle Peter." That cracked me up, especially since Peter is not the baldest of my brothers but she has asked him several times where all his hair went. Then she wanted to sit at the computer and watch a show so she got her spagettios and moved them to the computer, sat down and said, "perfectly executed." I don't know where she gets these little phrases but I love that she uses them correctly. She was so needy this weekend and I was soooo not in the mood to entertain kids, I just wanted to relax and listen to the talks. I had to break out the corstarch and water combo to keep her entertained both on Saturday and Sunday. If you've never tried it you just mix cornstarch with water and it makes this weird goo that is fun to play with...totally messy but it bought me some time to myself.

i am with you about elder holland's talk. what a spiritual man, i was crying nearly the entire time. i love the work of your brother, that is a cool pic of mike. how is his school going, almost done?
I think that kids are tuned in to us and when it is time for us to listen they know it! My kids were the same way. Luke kept asking me which of the speakers was the car salesman. Apparently there is a song that talks about each of them and what they used to do for a job. So when Elder Perry came on they said that it was him.. I think . Anyway that is why we have DVR... we are going to watch them for FHE.
