conference has always been hard for me. i didn't grow up going and it's just never a habit i developed. and having yahoos scaling the walls is just another excuse to avoid it. good thing i have doc M to keep me in line. we actually listened to saturday sessions this time. and i don't mean having the sessions as background noise while we cleaned, cooked, or painted. i mean actually LISTENED. here are some highlights of sunday's AM session...
what would conference be like without homemade onion strings?
i was taking notes, and here's luigi's attempt to follow suit.
the stove somehow became spic and span during this session. hmmmm....i wonder what doc M was doing while conference was playing??
here is luigi with his beloved dried mango slices that he purchased for himself.
she's glued to the screen as the last speaker, our wonderful prophet, is speaking.
i can no longer convict myself in the case of mom vs. unsuccessful conference sessions. these pictures are proof that some progress and success has been achieved. (notice i'm not posting pics of the PM session from sunday)
i, the CYNIC, the SKEPTIC, the UNBELIEVER, the REALIST (i'm told pessimist is the more appropriate word but it's my blog so i can use whatever word i want), am here to tell you that it does get better. i didn't believe it ever would. now that the yahoos have gotten older, i see we've reached a point where small things can be accomplished in situations such as these. so those of you out there still ripping your hair out because the little ones won't sit still for 2 hrs of speeches, i testify to you that there will come a day when they are bigger and can sit for longer periods of time with lots of glue and paper to keep them busy. and don't you think for a minute that i will remain an optimist for much more than a day. but for now i'll relish in the kodak moments of yesterday.
