So here is our version of a pre-General Conference activity. I printed out a packet and let Raleigh help me cut out the First Presidency and the Twelve Apostles. We glued their pictures onto notecards to make them more sturdy (I'm sure you could use scrapbook paper to make them fancy) and then used packing tape to "laminate" them. We used the "Magnetic Buttons" on the back to make them stick to our board and ta-da! General Authorities! I'll probably get more of those magnetic buttons and make different things (nativities, letters, etc.) eventually, Raleigh loved doing this with me. He loves to cut and glue, but lets be honest, Mom did the bulk of the work, haha. Anyway, it was fun and we'll be looking at their pictures all week to get ready!
And these are pictures of our house after I went a little crazy moving the decorations around. We've had the Temple pictures for a loooong time but never bought frames, so I just used sticky-tack on the walls, oh well! I put some huge maps up too, just for kicks, and so far the boys like the USA map. I'm pretty sure everything I hung up is crooked, haha, but whatev! I'm glad I didn't have to buy anything to re-decorate, oh well except the clearance maps at Target ($5 for both). I'm going to write a quote on the mirror with dry erase markers, at some point. Anyway, yay! We had a great Saturday and got a lot done... now I'm ready to relax (and hopefully not fall asleep) at the General Relief Society meeting, hooray! Love y'all!

LOVE IT! I need you to come decorate my apartment. I really like the green thing that is holding Rals artwork. I totally need something like that. My fridge can't hold all the artwork all the time. So awesome, Katie! Yay for general conference!
LOVE THIS. Doing it tomorrow. You are fantastic.
