General conference, scouting, St. Patrick's Day, Artiquette

Spencer earned his arrow of light and Weeblos.

The little kids and I went to a fun St. Patrick's Day party. Lila made this beautiful and colorful Fruit Loop rainbow.

We had the most delicious crepes between the Sunday sessions of general conference. Great talks and great food - is there a better way to spend a Sunday with the family?

Lila went to an artiquette night with some friends. It was a kid art show/evening to use manners (etiquette). The girls could dress up in their fancy princess gowns. Lila love it. Bell from Beauty and the Beast was there. She talked with the kids and painted faces.

Here's a closer look at Lila's painted face.
