General Conference

Monday at ballet was a happy day as Eleanor got her recital costume! 

She looks like a very cute unicorn!

I can't believe next year Eleanor will be doing Pre-K at home. 

We found these cute preschool supplies she's been working on. 

We put Eleanor's costume on Adelaide and we laughed as she danced around the living room!

Aaron worked late one evening so after picking up the boys from Lego Club and going to the library, we decided to grab dinner at McCallisters. We love that we can all eat for $12.

Friday we cleaned our house in preparation for General Conference weekend! The girls love to scrub the toilet. I feel like just yesterday I was cleaning the toilets like this with Eli and Austin beside me. 

I had the best April Fool's joke. I found this little bag of Lucky Charms at the Dollar Tree. I ate all the marshmallows and put this bag on the table. The kids were crying as I laughed so hard. I thought it was pretty clever myself! Lucky for them, I had a box of unopened Lucky Charms in the garage. 

Friday afternoon everything worked out for me to attend the temple with my friend Debbie who got baptized in January. She went for the first time and it was so special. I cried as the temple worker reminded us that we can pray every day for the Holy Ghost to be with us, like when we received the Holy Ghost as we were each baptized and confirmed a member of the church. 

Duane and LeeAnn came to spend the weekend with us and we were able to go to the temple Friday evening to do sealings. It's rare that I go to the temple twice in one day so I felt extra grateful that friends and babysitters were available to watch my kids so I could be in the temple, especially before General Conference. 

Conference is the best. The very best. We love hearing the talks and feeling the spirit together in our home. I'm always recharged and motivated to be even better and try harder each day. 

Our kind neighbors invited the kids over to decorate some eggs. They decorated them between the morning and evening session of conference on Saturday.
