Sunday prep for Conference...

This morning as I sorted through my papers for the coupons, we got 5 inserts today! And doublers from one of my locals stores. Yipee! (I think they are going to be doing more and more of these deals, in this economy, as it becomes more popular again).
.
Anyway.... I looked over to see the big dogs watching the birds out the window from the couch! It was as if they were getting their spot early to watch conference before the boys got up and took all the good spots.




Too funny how Taylor pig piles on top of Morgan and how Morgan loves her so much, she just tolerates it!
.
The best spot is next to the arm that is closest to the window view, so everyone fights to get the good seat in the house. I guess Taylor figures if someone is already there, you can save space by going UP! Smart and frugal in her own way. They do this when they are puppies, to keep warm, but she just never out grew it.
.
It reminds me of being with my nieces and nephews and learning for the first time the game of "save spot". When someone says that if they leave to go get food or the bathroom or something, you can't steal their spot.... but if they forget, that spot is free for the taking! You learn the rules pretty quickly around a big family!
So fun! I think of them every conference... I hope we can go watch conference in person with them again soon. Such fun memories!

I can't wait for the spiritual feeding today!

Saturday Conference...

Saturday conference was so wonderful... I usually need to keep my self busy doing something quiet while I listen; but this time I never got to my quiet work because I was so busy taking notes. I just couldn't get enough... it seemed to all be something I could use and apply to my life or help teach those in my circle of influence. That was so cool, and it went by super fast.

But everyone else had their own quiet things they worked out while we listened.



The teenager cleaned his golf clubs.
And the puppies were quiet on their blankets, minding!!! Wow! That was really cool!!! They usually pick these opportunities to romp and play and growl and be noisy! It was so reverent at our house... I loved it!
(plus you can see I made a candy basket to keep them on a sugar high to get through all the sessions... hey what ever it takes. Both my boys fell asleep at times anyway, I hadn't accounted for the sugar crash... protein drinks for today sessions)
I was really impressed by our dogs. They were so good!
I think they feed off of our nervousness or calmness.
.
And then last night the boys went to the prieshood session and out to DQ for their traditional ice cream (they got strawberry and marshmallow shakes) yum!

Friday free day...

I finally had some free time on Friday and went to lunch with my strong silent mysterious man. It is one of my most favorite things to do. Although it is quite challenging trying to order something healthy to eat from the local greasy burger joint. But I try!
.
On the way home I swung into the thrift store and found these dessert bowls that match some of my clear dishes. So that was a fun cheap find.
