October 2009 General Conference Packet Links

I did the research for October's General Conference packets that we use each general conference and found the following links.  These have been really helpful for my kids as we try to get them to listen to at least part of the two day conference.  Most of the links came from sugardoodle.net, which is a great site.  Also on sugardoodle.net are other ideas to get your kiddos to watch conference, and let's be honest, us too:)  I usually print out the best pages out of a few of the different packets depending upon what fits my children's ages.  Hope this helps out!

Love the Baby Soooooo Much!:)

Yaaaaard Saaale!


The kids had their first yard sale complete with lemonade and random toys and all of the junk food I could find in the house:)  What do you do with your excess junk food?  Sell it to the neighbors. haha


They made $5.25 total, which they split between the three of them.  They would've made more except I noticed Aleesia "giving back change".  Fortunately for the buyer, they would often find more money in their hand after the change was dealt than what they initially paid for the items. Aleesia is still in the process of learning to count money:)  Sweetly, she does have, naturally the kindess that goes with charitable giving.

Grant's First Day of Pre K


Grant was soooo excited to go to school.  He went equipped with his Spiderman back pack and lunch kit and didn't even look back when I dropped him off!  He will be going twice a week in Beaumont.  He is really growing up to be a sweet, sweet boy!!

Aleesia's First Day of Kindergarten!




Isn't she gorgeous... such a sweet little kindergartener.  Luckily, Aleesia's personality is totally made for the education system!!  At the Kindergarten orientation, she asked me politely to leave so she could go to school.:)  Her biggest concern: the principle ( I think she has watched Matilda a few too many times) My biggest concern: dropping her off all alone and exposed....ooh, I'm slipping into that feeling you feel right before the tears come with that last comment.:)   Seriously, she's doing GREAT and I do love that she was totally ready for this, it made it quite a bit easier on me:)  I've enjoyed waiting for her to come home every day, excited to hear about her day...who's chasing who on the playground, if she got the chocolate milk or the strawberry milk at snack time, what she learned that day, who she sat by on the bus, what boy is trying to kiss what girl and vice versa:)  I'm even finding myself a little dissappointed when she doesn't have homework every night:)  (I'm sure this will change):) haha
