The Lambourne Update

Cinnamon Rolls is our General Conference tradition. We have them for breakfast on Sunday. It's a great tradition! My roommate Emily's mom would make tons and tons of cinnamon rolls for the Sunday afternoon
session of conference and all their kids would invite everyone they wanted to come eat cinnamon rolls and listen to the last session of conference. It was a lot of fun, especially since they have 10 kids, so that was a lot of people and a lot of cinnamon roll consumption!
I thought that was a very cool way for her parents to encourage watching General Conference together and to enjoy some grubbin' cinnamon rolls, so we now enjoy cinnamon rolls on General Conference Sunday (just us- maybe when our kids our older we'll invite people over to enjoy them too, but for now Rod's a little possesive of them. He insisted I not give half of them away to people like I did last conference).

Also to help the kids be good so we could actually enjoy conference, they did some pumpkin painting with watercolors. Lizzie felt very grown up to be doing what she's only watched Caitlin doing before. (It's great with watercolors, you just rinse them in water and they paint them again, and again, and again...

Also, a side note, our Primary Program was last Sunday (I was in charge this year) and it went great! Ok, so that's mostly before the music was awesome, the kids really did a great job, but there were no last minute disasters or anything like that. And all the kids who had talks did great! I was seriously impressed with the kids public speaking abilities. One of the moms told me she was telling her daughter she did a good job, but she should have looked up more. Her daughter says, "But mom, she said we only had to look up twice!" Which is true, I told the kids giving talks to try to look up twice while they were speaking. She took it quite seriously, no more, no less!
