Long(ish)-time readers of my blog, (yes, all 3 of you!), may remember the last time I posted about our adventures in stake conference. Here's our latest edition:
There are many smart couples in our ward. They leave their children at home with one parent while the other parent attends conference, takes notes, and reports back on what the speakers discussed. We, however, are not one of these couples. We choose, instead, to take our already-tired children to this boring-for-children meeting that lasts from 7-8:30 p.m. on a Saturday night. Because it's so late, we dress the children in their PJ's and load the diaper bag with all sorts of interesting activities to keep them busy for the longer-than-they're-used-to church meeting.
This time, things were going pretty smoothly...until we got about 30 minutes in, when I look down and see Whitney trying to do something. Upon closer examination, I realize she looks like she's trying to step out of shorts. Only problem is she was only wearing a nightgown that night. Turns out she had somehow undone one of her diaper tabs and had it down around her ankles. Now, there really isn't much room in between the pews--and because of several factors, it seemed that trying to shimmy the diaper back up and resecure it wasn't going to cause a LOT more commotion than necessary. So, I simply removed the diaper, handed Ryan a clean one, and off she toddled to the bathroom, holding Ryan's hand, completely naked under her nightgown. At least the trip to the bathroom was as uneventful as possible.

My sister lives in the same stake as I do so we just swap every other stake conference. She babysits my kids while me and my husband go to the meeting and then 6 months later I babysit her kids so they can go.
Ughhh... Stake Conference was something I always dreaded in our stake. It seemed like NOBODY got a whole lot out of it because of all the crying/cranky children and the general discomfort of sitting on a hard chair with little leg room for two hours. They should really pad those pews in the tabernacle, or something.
Way to be diligent though!
