General Conference Packets – Thank You Beehives!
April 4th, 2009 by DustinThis morning our 6 year old daughter Gracie was whining and complaining because she didn’t want to watch General Conference and my wife, Rachel didn’t want the kids just playing in the toy room and fighting the whole time. Gracie was getting pretty dramatic about it. Just before it started the doorbell rang. It was a beehive girl in the ward. She dropped off 3 packets that had a conference activity book, bingo game, and a pack of M&M’s. It was seriously so cool! There was a little note from the Beehive group saying “we hope you enjoy general conference.” I was not only impressed that they did the project but they were out delivering them in cold, windy, snowy weather. Seriously, it was really cool. Gracie saw them and got really excited. Our 4 year old son, Gehrig was excited too. We didn’t have a problem keeping them in the room after that. Gracie was listening for words fill up her bingo card with her M&M and Gehrig was coloring in his workbook and drawing his favorite apostle, Elder Uchtdorf. Nolan, our 18 month old was devouring his M&Ms. Those young women really saved us! I think even Rachel really enjoyed it. There was a page for each apostle and activities to do while they were speaking. She used Nolan’s packet and followed along and made notes in it. It really was not just for kids I guess!

Good stuff, interesting one. The interesting thing in this story is that Kids are involved and I am very crazy about kids.
Funny post I enjoyed, thank you for sharing.

Did you look at the ladies properly? May be they were the protecting angels truly? Really they saved your day. Watching something attentively with three kids around is really complicated if those supporting stuff were not there.

That sounds really cool and interesting. It is true that when kids are involved in something, it makes that work even more interesting.

Amazing and different post. I love kids and am crazy about them. This post makes me very happy. It is good to see that the kids are involved in something and what makes us different form them is the involvement. Kids are involved wholeheartedly in whatever they do, unlike adults.

I have a 2 and a half year son of my own and I find that whatever he is interested in he does it so well. I totally agree with you. Kids are wholeheartedly involved in whatever they do.

I agree with Aaliyah that children’s do whatever they interested in with wholeheartedly. And they do enjoy in those activities also.
