Stake Conference

Jason and I kind of have an inside joke with our Ward Bishopric each Sunday, because practically EVERY week, our little Amber has an outburst at 11:45 a.m. and has to be taken out of Sacrament Meeting.  Each time it happens, they know who it is and we can see the smirks on their faces.  Now, it is not only them that notice little Amber, but many others recognize her voice almost instantly. We are really good at taking her out immediately and it is always for different reasons (most of the time it is because Corbyn looked at her funny or something else just as trivial).

Well, because of our fabulous weekly track record I was very worried for Stake Conference this past Sunday.  I wanted to be prepared with something for the children to do that would still stay within the bounds of our regular meetings (we only allow our children to draw in their church notebooks).  I decided to print up a bunch of coloring pages from the Friend and let the children color during the Conference.

I am very happy to report that this was one of the most successful Stake Conferences we have had. All five children were reverent and not one had to be taken out.  I don't mean to boast, but it was very exciting for me!  We can't make it through a meeting that's 1 hour and 5 minutes, but hey, give us a 2 hour meeting and we're okay!  Sweeeet!
