Conference was, of course, great. I loved President Eyring's talk during the morning session.
Last night before we went to the movie, Carter informed us that he had a serious need for stick-on fake mustaches - why, I have no idea - so we promised him we would go buy some today, between Conference sessions. I am still in chicken mode and was thinking it would be fun to check out chicken coops at Coastal Farm & Ranch, so we went first to Fred Meyer for mustaches (yes) and antifreeze for Amy Fisher, then took off for Coastal in Gresham.
Oh man, were those little chicks and ducklings cute. I wanted to take some home right then, but we don't have a place for them yet, and with two major trips coming up in April and May, it doesn't seem like a great time to establish a chicken situation. But we did some good research on the kind of coop kits we could buy, their costs, etc., and I did end up buying a simple round metal chick feeder, just so that spoiled chicken-wanting brat in my head would pipe down. If we can't do it this spring, we'll definitely do it next year.
Afterward, we drove through Burgerville and had milkshakes, then drove home jovially, joking about the Bee Gees and how they sound like Elmo the Muppet when they sing falsetto, and about my plan to patent what I call the Bee Gee Scream, and singing along with "Nights on Broadway". Brennan and Bella ended up with their fingers in their ears. Good stuff.

The afternoon session of Conference was also wonderful. I loved Elder Jeffrey Holland's talk about envy, LOVED it. Brennan baked the Brie I bought yesterday until it was all melted and gooey, and we ate it and slices of roasted garlic on French bread. Mmmm!
As this second session was ending, a man rang our doorbell and when we answered the door, he asked if he could buy our white minivan, Charlotte. We told him to come back in a month and he could buy Amy Fisher from us instead.
